Sections Text

Each section of the Scheduling screen, Schedule Section Text, Request Section Text, and Recommendation Section Text can have their own text associated with it.

You can change the text using the text boxes below each section. It is good to know that HTML is fully supported in your text.

For instance, if you write the text "Hello <b>World</b>" in the box, the word "World" will come out in bold, as you would expect in HTML.
