location of Section templates

MartinB
Hi all, newbie here and not very technical but I've been given the job of
building forms!

In the documentation, I found a chapter on 'Section templates' but cannot
find where to build the templates on the Form Builder.  There is no icon in
the Controls or Advanced panels.  Is this because I have not been given high
enough permissions?

Any advice is much appreciated

Cheers

Martin

Hi Martin,

There is no UI to create section templates in Form Builder; instead, this is
done by following a convention, namely using the name `library` for the app
and/or form name. Also, once you've published your "section template" form,
make sure to hit the "Reload Toolbox" button in Form Builder, to have your
section template show in the sidebar.  You can find more about this on the
page linked below, and you'll let us know if you're having any trouble with
it.

1) I created a form with the name 'library' and published it

2) I went to the form I'm working on and clicked the 'Reload Toolbox' icon

3) I cannot see the 'Library group' in Advanced or Controls as mentioned in
the documentation

I've worked out what I was doing wrong.  I can now see the Section Template.
Thanks.
