The following is a step-by-step walkthrough of creating an XML worksheet that calculates the totals across sections.
In the example above, the Overview section contains the totals of the values entered under the Staff and Equipment sections.
To create these total and subtotal references:
- Edit the XML custom field
- Click on the Section Builder button
You will see the list of Sections at the left.
- Find the Section ID of each section to be referenced (in this example, Staff and Equipment), by floating your cursor over the section name:
The Section ID will be contained in the URL shown at the bottom of the page.
The Section ID of the Staff section in this example is 1440.
