The Section Reference Wizard streamlines the process of Section management by enabling cross-referencing between Sections, aiding in quality assurance and quality control of critical project elements by automating the Section and Section References insertion, using the SRF tags to identify and standardize Section Numbers and Titles. This automated tool eliminates manual entry to improve the accuracy of the Section Verification Report.
