When adding a Section Template, the System is designed to know whether you are working from a MasterFormat™ 1995 or MasterFormat™ 2004 Master. Therefore, when the Template Tab is chosen the correct format will be the default setting.
The
system will also warn you when attempting to mix MasterFormat™ 1995 Sections with MasterFormat™
2004 Sections. This process is not recommended, as it will
cause Section Reference and Report Issues. It is recommended to
find the appropriate MasterFormat™ 2004 Section to edit
rather than using an older Section for the project.
For more information on Section Numbers see Numbering Rules.
You can create as many Sections from templates as you want. (The Section Titles must be entered between the Title tags using the Editor.) All Sections you create with templates will be listed in the right pane of the dialog box, with the pending action add or overwrite listed beside it.
Right-clicking on a Section with
an action pending will allow you to choose to Undo
the action and remove the Section from the Contents pane.
If you choose a Section that
is already in the Job, you will be asked if you want to overwrite
it. Keep in mind that if you overwrite a Section that you have already
edited, you will lose your changes.
OK will execute all the pending actions listed.
Cancel will close the dialog box without executing any of the pending actions.
When the pending actions are executed, you will see the Sections you created with templates listed in the right pane of the SI Explorer view of your Job.
