Docs / Reporting & Calculations / Building the document outline

Building the document outline

Cover and document control, sections, appendices, PDF pages and reordering.

The Outline tab controls the document structure.

Fixed pages

Two entries sit above the numbered sections and cannot be reordered:

Cover — the title page
Document control — revision and approval information

Sections and appendices

Below them, numbered sections in document order. Three buttons at the bottom add to the document:

Button	Adds
Section	A new numbered section
Appendix	A new appendix
Add PDF Pages	An existing PDF spliced into the document

Add PDF Pages is how you bring in documents produced elsewhere — a borehole log PDF, a laboratory report, a survey plan — without recreating them.

Reordering

Drag any section by the handle on its left, or select it and use the Up and Down buttons in the section settings panel. Section numbers update automatically.

Deleting

Select a section and use Delete Section at the bottom of the settings panel.

Naming sections

New sections are created as New section. Rename them in Section title — the name appears in the outline, in the document and in the table of contents.
