can change the order of the sections in the same context by clicking the name of a section
and moving it using the Up and Down buttons.
Outputting sections
Which sections are added to the output, depends on the type of context they are in.
When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output
document, one after the other in sequence, for each record. The sections are added to the
output in the order in which they appear on the Resources pane. See "Generating Print output"
on page801.
In email and web output, only one section can be executed at a time. The section that will be
output is the section that has been set as the 'default'. See "Generating Web output" on
page825 and "Web pages" on page332 and "Generating Email output" on page815 and
"Email templates" on page317. The 'default' section is always executed when the template is
run using the Create Email Content task in Workflow (see Workflow Help: Create Email
Content).
It is, however, possible to include or exclude sections when the output is generated, or to set
another section as the 'default', depending on a value in the data. A Control Script can do this;
see "Control Scripts" on page532.
See "Generating output" on page798 to learn how to generate Print documents, Web pages or
Email.

"Templates" on page256. Start creating, using and sharing templates.
"Contexts" on page269. A context contains one or more designs for one output channel:

l "Email" on page307. This topics helps you design an email template.
l "Web" on page326. This topic helps you design a web page.
"Sections" on page271. Sections in one context are designed for the same output channel.
