Creating Sections

How to create Sections in a Template or Workspace

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Sections are the building blocks of Workspaces. They are similar to slides in a presentation deck, except with embeddable content and widgets! In the guide below, we'll walk you through the different types we support.


Adding Sections

To add a section, navigate to the workspace and click Add section:

From there, you can choose the type of section that you'd like add to the workspace.

Dock supports many types, which we'll walk through below.

Section Templates

If you or others at your company have pre-built templates, they'll be found here.

Content

A Content section would include any free-form content that you want to add to the Workspace, such as:

  • Text

  • PDFs / Files

  • Images

  • Links

  • Embeds

  • Project plans

  • Contact cards

It can be shown in one, two or three columns.

Library

Resources found in your Dock's Content Library can be searched for and added here.

Embeds

You can add full-width embeds from other popular software (videos, forms, slides, code, and more).

Project Plan

To help keep everyone aligned around next steps, we support three types of project plans.

  • Checklists are highly customizable to-do lists.

  • The Timeline allows you to create specific phases and start/due dates for your project.

  • Kanban is reflected in a board-style with a drag and drop capability.

Table

Tables may be helpful if you're looking to configure something such as a Q&A or a sheet.

Pricing Quotes and Cards

Pricing quotes or cards can also be added in a section. Quotes can be easily transitioned into an Order Form when you're ready!

Contacts

Add in customized contact cards for members of the internal or external team.

Forms

Configure a survey to help gather information in the sales or onboarding processes!

Security Profiles

You can upload your security documents directly into a section to share with customers!

Naming Sections

Once you've created your section, you'll want to add a name. In the blue label above the section, type your title. The name of the section will then be auto-populated in the nav bar to the left.

Most importantly, in the Shared view, people will be able to leverage it as a table of contents.
