You can customize section base properties, record pages, business rules and cases.
Attention!
All changes made to the bpm’online configuration via the Section Wizard are saved in the package specified in the “Current package” system setting. If the package is unavailable for the current user or no package is specified in the “Current package” system setting, bpm’online will prompt to select another package from the list when you open the Section Wizard. Use the [Configuration] section to manage packages and the [System settings] section to manage system settings.
Note
All customizations made to the bpm’online configuration via the Section Wizard, such as adding new objects or columns to the existing objects, are applied when you save changes in the Section Wizard.
To add a new section via the wizard, open the System Designer by clicking the 
button in the top right corner of the application window. Click the [Section Wizard] link in the [System setup] block (Fig. 1).
Attention!
You can open the Section Wizard only if you have access to the [Access to “Configuration“ section] system operation.
To modify an existing section, open it and select the [Open Section Wizard] option from the [View] menu (Fig. 2).
