Creating a section name

A section name is a description that you can assign to a group of items to produce Items by section reports. Unlike grouping items, assigning a name to a section does not physically group the selected items on the Work area; it simply assigns it a name for report purposes.

Grouping sections and naming the groups can be particularly useful; it allows you to produce a report with items sorted by section names.

Complete the following steps to use the Section Name command:

1. Press the CTRL key while selecting the sections to be grouped, right-click, and select Section Name.
   The Set Section Name dialog box opens.  
   
   

2. To assign an existing name to a new section, select it from the Section name list.
   
   To assign a new name, type the name in the Section name field.
   
   

3. Click Cancel to discard the selection, or click OK to save the selection and close the dialog box.

Edit a section name

Complete the following steps to edit a section name:

1. Select any item in the section and click in the Section Name field in the Home ribbon.
   
   

2. To delete a section name, remove the name from the field. This deletes the section name assigned to the group of items only and not the items themselves.
   
   To add a new name, type the name in the Section Name field.
