required
Specify a name for the new section.
section_number__v
optional
Enter a numerical value for the new section.
parent_id__v

If the new section is going to be a subsection, enter the Node ID of the parent section. If left blank, the new section will become a top-level section in the binder.
order__v
optional
Enter a number reflecting the position of the section within the binder or parent section. A value of 1 has special behavior and instructs Vault to place the section at the first ordinal position of the binder, regardless of any existing order__v values. If provided with a negative value or omitted, Vault places the section at the last ordinal position of the binder, regardless of any existing order__v values.
