Modules (box types)

Various modules provide you with different insights into your data. As the terminology can vary from organization to organization, you can rename the modules to ensure their purpose is clear to everyone on your team.

In this section, you can use the toggle switches to specify which modules are available by default in all boxes of a given box type. Additionally, you can change the module names. 

Activating the modules and editing their names function the exact same way as in the Module (box configuration) section of a box. 

Security and cccess

Only a user with the App admin security role can access and change the box type configuration.

To access this page:

  1. Go to the App Administration > Box type > choose the box type you want to edit > General > Modules.

Default active modules

When you deactivate a module, all related configuration tabs and the module links will disappear. You can reactivate the module at any time without losing your data.

Changes made to the default active modules apply only to boxes of a given type created after settings have been adjusted. Existing boxes aren’t affected (a manual update is required for each existing box).

To activate or deactivate, click the Active toggle switch.
