# Section Settings

Every section has settings which you can configure. The settings enable the use of our Custom Targeting feature. With Custom Targeting you can target sections to only be visible to those roles and/or departments which match the section settings.

You can have one or more roles targeted. And, you can have one or more departments targeted.

## Why use Custom Targeting?

The use of custom targeting allows you to create very specific training content for a subset of your learners. You might find that everyone in your organization needs to be be trained on 4 key topics. But, additionally you want to add a 5th topic for just your Customer Service team. Instead of managing two trainings, or instead of having everyone learn a 5th topic which is only useful to the Customer Service team ... you can have 1 training with the 4 sections and just make a 5th section that is custom targeted.

Then, when your learners take the course, only the Customer Service Team will see that section.

When a section is custom targeted, you will see an indicator next to that section.
