The Base Sim Section Table
From OSPDocs
To understand how sections (pages where the player can do or observe things) are created, one has to understand this table. Information from this table for a particular section will be copied into the simulation sections table when the author adds a 'section' to an actor's set of sections.

These are sections that never change. For example, the ‘Introduction Page’ just shows what the simulation author has written. The ‘Cast’ page just shows information on all of the characters. Etc. |

CustomizeableSection |
XML File |
These are archetypal entries that then get tailored to meet the specifics of what a simulation author wants. For example, a ‘Write Document’ page must be tailored to tell the student what kind of document it is that they are writing. |

CustomizeableSection’ |
Copied from one of the above type of row entries. |
These sections have been customized. For example, a ‘Write Document’ section may have been customized to allow the student to ‘Write Memorandum of Understanding’ or ‘Write Constitution.’ Depending on the specifics of the scenario. |
