How to create Sections in a Template or Workspace

Updated over 3 months 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.

Basic Blocks

Basic blocks are a great place to start inputting information. Choose a type of block to start with, which you can build off of later (or turn into 1/2/3 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).

Dock Widgets

We have many different types of content blocks that you can add into your workspace.

Project Plans

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.

Sales Proposal

Price quotes 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.

Table

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

Forms

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

Plan Template

Plan templates are checklists that you may have created in your settings. These are synced and helpful if you have a standard checklist that you want to make sure is the exact same across multiple workspaces (i.e. standard self-serve to-do's).

Price Card

Price cards are a quick visual you can put together to show pricing options without putting together a full quote.

File Manager

The file manager is a single section used for uploading/downloading any content in bulk.

Security Profiles

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

To learn more about creating security profiles, click here.


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.
