A section is a grouping of one or more items. By creating a section, you can assign a Team of specific scorers (users) to score an item or group of items. Only users in Teams assigned to a section are allowed access to score items found in that section.
Example
I have 20 scorers and 2 items (Item 1 and Item 2). I want 10 scorers to score Item 1 and 10 different scorers to score Item 2. To do this I would create two Sections (Section 1 and Section 2). I then would add Item 1 to Section 1 and Item 2 to Section 2. I would then create two Teams (Team 1 and Team 2), assigning 10 scorers to each team. Then add Team 1 to Section 1 and Team 2 to Section 2.
By creating a section, the following functionality is made available:
- Ability to assign specific teams to an item or a group of items.
- Ability to report by section using the scorer report.
Note: An item can exist in more than one section, however the same item cannot exist in the same section. The uniqueness is section/item.
When an item is added to multiple sections all item settings and QC materials will remain intact for the item and reporting will be available for the item across sections.
