In modules, you can manage elements that have a common
set of attributes. To begin managing elements, you can use either
a predefined module or create a module that is based on your requirements.
In this lesson, you create a module for managing car elements.
Prerequisite:To create a module, you must be a workspace
administrator.
A module is a collection of elements
that describes a set of entities that have attributes in common. Although
modules have different functions, all modules contain a structured
set of elements. Several modules support the work of the administrator
and are included in the product. Those modules include, but are not
limited to the Criteria, Releases, Checkpoints, Saved Charts, and
Saved Reports modules. You cannot delete these modules. You can create
other modules according to specific business requirements and use
those modules to configure business-specific information, such as
projects and requirements.
