I think it will help to rename fields for section details:

  • Group should be renamed to Division-Name
  • Code should be renamed to Spec Section #
  • Description should be rename to Spect Section Name

Hi @mpetrucci - the reason these fields are named the way they are is because the terms "division, spec section number, and spec section name" are specific to usage in North America, and not necessarily terms that are used globally to describe the concepts. Since Specifications is a global tool, we wanted to reflect these concepts to the wider user base of the tool.

Hi mpetrucci - thank you for providing your feedback. I understand your point that division, spec section number, and spec section name" are common nomenclature for North American teams, but these terms do not necessarily resonate with other global markets. When the tool was in development the team researched this topic deeply and decided that spec code and description where more reflective for all geos and formats.
