Lesson 1: Create a module

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.
  1. If you are logged in as admin, log out by clicking Log out.
  2. Log in as user veena.
  3. Under My Workspaces, click Cars to open the workspace.
  4. On the navigation bar, click Configure > Modules. A list of all the modules that are available by default is displayed.
