Template Sections

Airtable template sections table

The I/O Module Template Sections table creates the blue section headers inside the Capabilities and Specifications tables, and it can also create accordion items for configuration packages on the product page.

Each section is a table group. The section title appears in the blue header, and the linked rows appear underneath it.

Example On The Product Page

Analog Inputs
Channels
Acquisition rate
Resolution ADC

Analog Inputs is the section title. The rows below it come from Template Rows.

For configuration packages, a section with Section Type = configuration-package becomes one accordion item. The linked rows become the table rows inside that item, and the matching Configuration Package records become the table columns.

How To Use This Table

  • Capabilities sections produce the grouped tables shown under Capabilities.
  • Specifications sections produce the grouped tables shown under Specifications.
  • configuration-package sections produce accordion items for package variant tables.
  • Link rows to the correct section so they appear under the right blue header.
  • Change Section Title when you want to change the text in the blue header.
  • Choose Section Type carefully so the section appears in the expected area.
  • Use Package Type to keep package variants grouped correctly.
  • Use Description (EN) when a configuration package item needs explanatory text above its table.
  • Use Full-Width Header Row only for configuration-package sections and enter it as label;bodyText.

Full-Width Header Row Format

Full-Width Header Row supports an optional full-width row above the package table.

Behavior:

  • an empty value becomes false
  • a non-empty value must use label;bodyText syntax
  • the value is parsed into:
{
"label": "…",
"bodyText": "…"
}

On the website, this becomes the full-width header row above the package table.

warning

If the section type is wrong, the section can show up in the wrong table or not appear where editors expect it.

note

If you want to change the text in the blue header, edit the Section Title.
