Section Footers
Under Construction
Sections can have a Footer displayed at the bottom of the Section. This can be made Visible or hidden. It can display a Caption. It can also have a Custom menu accessed via a cog icon in the bottom left hand corner (in addition to the Caption) or a series of Buttons (no Caption). The Custom menu can trigger a Custom action (SHOWDOCUMENT()) or call an Inline Delegate or script specified in the the Custom footer menu Custom Delegate.
Double-click on the Section header or click the cog icon to access the Section Attributes. Scroll down to the Footer sub-section.
