# Sectioned Reports

> How Reserve Sense report templates handle British Columbia sectioned strata: sectioned pages, Current Section variables, tables, page conditions, and per-section report editing.

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

| Approach                                                                                           | When to use it                                                                    |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Mark a **page** as [Sectioned](/report-templates/pages#sectioned)                                  | Each property section needs its own full page (for example Reserve Fund History)  |
| Configure an inline **Deficiency Table** for the current property section or all property sections | Property-wide narrative once, then analysis for every property section underneath |
| Insert **property-section variables** in text                                                      | Names, unit counts, model values that change per property section                 |
| **Show Page Condition** for more than one section                                                  | Hide the page when the property is not sectioned                                  |
| **Text [conditional](/report-templates/conditionals)** on Number of Sections                       | A sentence or paragraph only when multiple sections exist                         |

## 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](/report-templates/variables) (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:

| Setting     | What it controls                           | What to choose                                                                                                                                                 |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Model**   | Which funding model supplies the number    | Leave **Recommended** selected. It is currently the only option                                                                                                |
| **Section** | Which property section supplies the number | Choose **Auto** when the page repeats for each section. Choose **All** when one page should list values for every section                                      |
| **Value**   | Which calculated number to insert          | Choose the value needed in the sentence, such as Reserve Fund Contributions                                                                                    |
| **Year**    | Which report year supplies the number      | Choose **Report Year** for the current amount already recorded in the report, **Year 1** for the first forecast or recommended year, or a later year as needed |

**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

| Setting            | Where it appears                                                                                     | Behaviour                                                       |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Current / Auto** | Property Section variable (**Current**); Model Schedule Value and inline Deficiency Table (**Auto**) | Uses the property section currently being rendered              |
| **All**            | Property Section variable, Model Schedule Value, and inline Deficiency Table                         | Formats output for every property section                       |
| **Section 1–5**    | Model Schedule Value                                                                                 | Pins the value to a property section by its order in the report |

## 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](/report-templates/conditionals) 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.
