In British Columbia, a strata corporation can contain legally distinct property sections. Reserve Sense can repeat parts of the report for each property section — an entire page or table, or only a line, bullet, or number — from a single template definition.

​
Levels of section handling

​
Sectioned pages

  1. Open the page in Report Templates
  2. Enable Sectioned in the page configuration
  3. Write the page once, using variables that target the current property section
If the property has three property sections (for example Joint, Residential, Commercial), the preview shows one page for each property section. Until you insert property-section-aware variables, those pages look identical.

​
Property Section and Current Section

Insert a Property Section variable (for example in the title) and set its iterator to Current. Reserve Sense walks through the property sections and inserts the current property section’s name:
  • Projections—Joint
  • Projections—Residential
  • Projections—Commercial

​
Model Schedule Value per section

A Model Schedule Value inserts a number from the report’s funding calculations, such as a recommended contribution or closing balance. Its settings answer four separate questions: Section 1–5 refers to property sections, not funding-model alternatives. One template sentence such as “We recommend that the section contribute [amount] …” can therefore produce the correct value on each section’s page.

​
Current, Auto, All, and specific sections

​
Tables on non-sectioned pages

You will not always want to repeat the whole page. Example Deficiency Analysis page:
  1. Write a general introductory paragraph that should appear once for the whole property — leave the page non-sectioned
  2. Insert a Deficiency Table underneath and choose DCQ Analysis or Percent Funded
  3. In the table’s Sectioned menu, choose All so Joint, Residential, and Commercial (or whatever property sections exist) all appear after the shared intro
On a sectioned page, Auto follows the property section currently being rendered. Use All when the page is not sectioned and you want every property section’s table output listed sequentially. The Deficiency Calculation table type always renders all property sections. Full-page Table types work differently: Projection Schedule and Historical Financial tables automatically render the applicable property sections and do not have an Auto/All control in the table editor. You do not create a separate forecast page manually for each property section. A schedule that spans two pages per property section becomes six pages for a three-section property. For a page marked Sectioned, the Report table of contents lists only the first generated section page. It does not repeat the entry for later sections.

​
Show only when sectioned

For a page that explains sections and would not make sense on a single-section property:
  1. Open Show Page Condition
  2. Choose If the report has more than 1 section
The page appears in reports with multiple property sections and is omitted otherwise. For a smaller snippet, use a conditional on Number of Sections (greater than one), and insert the Number of Sections variable inside that text when you want the count in the sentence.

​
Report-unique sectioned pages

Some Standard Template pages (for example Reserve Fund History under Financial Review and Forecast) are both Sectioned and set to Uniqueness: Report. That means:
  • The template still supplies structure and variables, and the page repeats per property section
  • In the Report tab’s editable-pages area, use the Section: selector beside Template page: to customize the narrative for Residential, Joint, Commercial, and so on separately
Use this when history, records, or expenditures differ materially between property sections. Keep uniqueness at Organization when variables alone are enough.

Learn from the Standard Template

The Reserve Sense Standard Template provides working examples of sectioned pages, section-specific variables, page conditions, and report-unique narratives. Review pages such as Reserve Fund History to see how the template handles British Columbia sectioned strata. The same template continues to work for non-sectioned properties and reports in other provinces. If you want help configuring property-section logic, contact us. Return to Report Templates overview →
