How can we modify the sections in 7.x? In 5.4 we could change section names, the order the sections appeared in and even which ones appeared where. Are those options completely gone in 7.x or is there a new way to do this?

Andres,
In 7.1 version there is Workplace setup functionality available, that allows to choose what Sections and in which order should be displayed for the particular Group of Users.
In order to change the Caption of the Section in 7.X version you should run the Script on the DB. It can be done directly from the Configuration Section, Sql Scripts tab. The example of such script to change ‘Contacts’ into ‘Test’:
update SysModuleLcz
set Value = 'Test'
where value = 'Contacts'
Result is shown on the screen shot attached.
Thank you Olly. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to work. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. Maybe you could walk me through the process of running a script on the DB. I added it to the custom package (I do not have access to the others to make changes). I set the DBMS Type to MSSql and the Installation Type as Before Saving Package. Is that correct? Does the database need to be reset to apply the script change?
Andres, you did everything 100% right. All you left to do is just click right mouse button on that script and choose the 'Sql Script - Install Selected Item' option from the context menu. After that is done you will need to log out of the system, empty browser's cache and log back in for changes to apply.
Thank you Olly! I appreciate the help. Is this by any chance something that is being updated for the next roll out of 7.x? It would be really nice to have the simplicity of the 5.4 approach on this. Are there plans to create that kind of interface for it or will the scripting be the only way to accomplish this? I still need to add and hide some sections as well.
