By using this box to assign Specifiers to Divisions on the Master level, all Sections added to the Master are automatically assigned the appropriate Designer for that DivisionEach Master is made up of Divisions containing groups of Sections that cover specific construction areas. Division Names and Titles are in accordance with CSI MasterFormat™. The current MasterFormat™MasterFormat is used throughout the construction industry to format specifications for construction contract documents. The purpose of this format is to assist the user to organize information into distinct groups when creating contract documents, and to assist the user searching for specific information in consistent locations. The information contained in MasterFormat is organized in a standardized outline format within 50 Divisions (16 Divisions pre-2004). Each Division is subdivided into a number of Sections only uses Divisions 00-49, and some of these Divisions are not currently used by MasterFormat™, therefore by default, they are disabled.  To enable Master Specifiers for divisions not used see Setup > Options > Specifiers tab and select the option to Allow specifiers for Divisions not used in the project MasterFormat version.
