Filters
When sections are used, they filter the information workers see on the tablet. For instance, if a worker belongs to a section, they will only be able to execute operations from that section (Note: operations that do not belong to any section, can be seen by everyone).
Also, they will only be able to select machines from his section.
If an operation belongs to a section, it can only be executed with machines from that section (Note: machines that do not belong to any section, can be seen by everyone in every operation).
