A CATA can contain a number of Catalogue Sections which are administrative elements, there are two types: Piping Sections (SECT) and the Structural Sections (STSE). They are principal administrative elements by which the Catalogue is divided and arranged. A Piping Section (SECT) or Structural Section element (STSE) can only be created below a CATA element.

Note: If the PIPING discipline is selected, the Create Section window is displayed.
Use the Create Section window to create a new SECT element in the catalogue hierarchy the functionality is common throughout all disciplines. Depending on the discipline currently selected in AVEVA Catalogue a default purpose selection is made, for example PIPE is selected by default when in the AVEVA Catalogue Pipework discipline.
