Selected Sections
 
The ‘Selected Sections’ tab allows a user to exclude certain sections from the Template.  By default all sections are selected in the Template.  A user can deselect any section(s) that is not required by the Wizard.  If a section is deselected, no columns in the section will be generated in the worksheet.
