Creating, Modifying, and Troubleshooting Sections
Sections provide a collapsible area within forms and subforms. Sections can contain a variety of objects, including text, fields, and layout regions. Sections are often used to organize elements on a page or form and are handy for making a form or page with large amounts of information more useable.
There are two types of sections: standard sections and access-controlled sections. Standard sections allow any user to access the contents of the section, whereas access-controlled sections can restrict access to the contents within the section. More information about restricting access to a section can be found in Chapter 10, “Security.”
