Insert Existing Group or Section
The Structure tab on the Service Structure Information Page enables you to insert a variety of objects into a service structure. You can add a level of hierarchy to your service structure by inserting an existing information group or a publication section.
An information group or publication section can also reference content objects associated with it. For more information about associating content with an information group or publication section, see Service Structure Information Elements . Information groups and publication sections can also be developed independently using the Service Group or Section Information Page.
