The Add Section feature in Spec Planner allows users to tailor their project scope by adding or removing Masterformat sections and subsections. This functionality helps create a customized 'checklist' of product categories relevant to your specific project needs.
Accessing the Add Section Feature
There are two ways to add sections in Spec Planner:
Navigation Bar Method - This method allows for bulk addition of sections.
Click on "Add Section" in the navigation bar.
A modal will open, displaying predefined Masterformat sections.
Toggle sections you want to add (green indicates selection).
Subsections will appear in a dropdown and selecting subsection will automatically make parent section or division visible on Spec Planner.
Choose relevant subsections.
Sub Division-Specific Method - This method is for adding sections within a specific Sub Division.
Click the "+" button next to the desired Sub Division.
In the modal that appears, select:
Group
Sub Group
This method adds one Masterformat section at a time.
Best Practices
Review your project scope before adding sections.
Use the Navigation Bar method for initial setup or major revisions.
Utilize the Division-specific method for fine-tuning or adding individual sections.
Regularly review and update your sections to keep your SpecPlanner relevant and efficient.
Remember, a well-organized SpecPlanner with relevant sections can significantly streamline your product specification process.
