Working with Numbered Headings

Objective

Create, restart, or remove numbered headings

Environment

PolicyStat Editor

Procedure

Many policies contain numbered lists to organize the display of content. However, some of these lists can become rather long making proper navigation challenging for users.

To ease the navigation of lists and to provide a cleaner, easier to use layout, PolicyStat offers Numbered Headings.

Creating Numbered Headings

1. Change the text to a heading by selecting the formatting drop-down list.
2. Select the desired style (Heading, Subheading, etc.) from the dropdown.
3. Use the Numbering drop-down list to select the desired numbering formatting.
4. Choose a list style from the four options (eg, 1.1.1.1, A.1.a.1)
5. The formatting will be applied to the header.
6. Subsequent headings will continue the numbering list pattern.
   
7. Add additional subheadings, section headings, or section subheadings as needed. The numbering style will continue based on the first level selection.
8. Standard numbered or bulleted lists can also be added beneath Numbered Headings. These list items are formatted separately from the Numbered Headings, so list styles (e.g. - A., B., C.) can be adjusted without impacting Numbered Headings.
