Adding sections or fields inEpiData Manager(length/height of dataform)
My understanding of a section is for the logical grouping of a set of questions (such as personal details, which one may wish to password protect, for instance). Such a section may consist of many questions. If that is the case, then it seems reasonable to me that a section could thus take the whole page. Such a section could be just one of many (which may be any size, smaller or bigger), so that indeed one doesn't just have one section.

Your understanding is correct, but in the case of having a single section the password feature would be for the whole file.
We have not implemented password features yet, but I think it would be the simpler principle to say: a. Main section (whole background) - the same as adding no sections b. any other section.
If you look in the xml structure, you can see now, that the part describing sections looks like this:
<Sections> <Section id="section_id_main"> <Name>MAIN</Name> ...... deleted ....... </Section> <Section id="section_id_1"> <Name>Section4</Name> ...... deleted ....... </Section> </Sections>
That is, the main section is always there regardless of the existence of any specifically created sections.
