How to Manage Modules?


The Manage Modules page is available to site and system administrators as well as regular users. It provides a detailed overview of all modules for admin users, while standard users can view all active modules for which they have Read and Configure access, ensuring full visibility and easy navigation.

You can open the page from the side navigation by selecting Manage Modules.

How to Change Module Sort Order

The order in which modules appear in the Manage Modules list is controlled by a sort number. The module with the smallest number appears at the top of the list, and the module with the largest number appears last.

To change the order, click the Change Sort Order button in the Manage Modules header. This opens the Change Module Sort Order modal, where you can renumber the modules (for example, 10-100). To save your changes, first click the Re-number button and then click OK.

Note: The module sort order number is not the same as the module ID. The module ID is a unique identifier for each module and cannot be changed. The sort order number only dictates the order in which the module appears in the Manage Modules list.
