Section Library

Feature Request: Section Library for Cost Volume Templates

Summary

Introduce a Section Library that enables users to create and maintain reusable sections which can be linked to multiple cost volume templates. This will ensure consistency across templates and make updates more efficient.

Problem

Currently, users who manage multiple types of cost volume templates face significant manual effort when maintaining common sections. When text needs to be updated across templates, each template must be edited individually, which increases the risk of inconsistencies and errors.

Proposed Solution

• Allow users to create and store reusable sections in a centralized Section Library.

• Enable users to link these sections to one or more cost volume templates.

• When a section is updated in the library, the changes automatically propagate to all linked templates.

• Provide clear version control and change tracking for each section.

Use Case Example

A user maintains several cost volume templates for different proposal types. Many templates share identical sections, such as standard disclaimers or company background. By creating these sections once in the Section Library and linking them to each template, the user can update the text in a single location and have all templates reflect the change instantly, saving time and reducing errors.

Benefits

• Improved consistency across cost volume templates

• Faster, centralized updates to shared text

• Reduced manual effort and lower risk of versioning errors
