# Section Display By ForeignKey

## Overview

The **Labii Section Display by ForeignKey** widget functions similarly to the [Section Display by Record](/widgets/section-widgets/data-display/sections/section-display-by-record.md) widget, allowing sections from other records to be displayed. However, instead of manually selecting the source record and sections, this widget retrieves data automatically from a column using the [ForeignKey](/widgets/column-widgets/form/dropdown/foreignkey.md) or [ForeignKeys](/widgets/column-widgets/form/dropdown/foreignkeys.md) widget. This automation eliminates the need for manual selection, ensuring seamless and dynamic reference to related records.

## Use case

* Display SOP procedures in an experiment
* Display the common files in projects from accounts

## Configuration

The following configuration is needed to specify the record and sections to be displayed.

* **Column** - The source ForeignKey or ForeignKeys column of the record. Input to search the column. For ForeignKeys, the first record will be used.
* **Version** - The version of the record. Select a version to freeze the data to display. If the version is not selected, the newest version will be used. When this record is signed, a latest version will be assigned automatically.
* **Is Readonly** - Check to make the data readonly. This does not apply to a particular version of the record.

## Interface

The interface of the widget is exactly same to [Section Display by Record](/widgets/section-widgets/data-display/sections/section-display-by-record.md).
