Information block sections - Bitrix Site Manager - Content Management & Portal Solutions

In this section

When creating an information block, you can set the block in the hierarchical mode so that a block contains not only elements, but also sections. The latter, in their turn, can contain sections and elements as well. For example, the Trading Catalog information block can contain a section Computer peripherals, that can contain sections Printers and Scanners.

This form helps manage elements and sections of an information block.
