SI Editor Section Reference Wizard - Overview

 

 

A Section Reference is used to reference other Sections and used for quality assurance and quality control of critical project elements.  

 

The Section Reference Wizard automates the insertion of Sections and Section References within the SectionA set of files within the Division of a Master or Job that covers specific aspects of construction. text by using SRF tagsSpecsIntact Tags are used to define key elements and attributes used control content and format as well as run processes and generate reports . These tags consist of an opening and closing tag. A tag -- either opening or closing, is used to mark the start or end of an element. Most tags consist of a beginning-tag <SEC> and ending tag </SEC>, but can also contain some empty-element tags such as <Page />. Tags are to identify Section References.  The Section Reference Wizard uses either the Sections within a Project or any Master that is available within SpecsIntact in order to standardize the Section Numbers and Titles..  Not only does it add the Section Number enclosed within SRF tags, it also adds the Section Title, thereby eliminating the need to manually type the Section Title and reducing the number of discrepancies on the Section Verification Report.

 

The Section Reference Wizard is activated by positioning the cursor within the Section text and then selecting the SRF button located on the SI Editor's Tagsbar.  

 

Although turning off the Wizard is not recommended, you can do so by going to Tools > Options > Edit and uncheck 'Use Submittal and Section Reference Wizards.'

 

When the Section Reference Wizard opens, it will default to display the Sections within your Job as indicated by Step 1 below.  If the Section you wish to reference isn't in your Job, then you can add the Section from any connected Master and the software will offer to add it to your Job.
