How It Works
- Sites: The top-level container. Each company or department can have one or more sites. Sites hold company info, users, plugins, solutions, and general settings.
- Example: A company with two independent departments might have two separate sites.
- Modules: Like folders or database tables, modules store items (data records) such as customers, orders, or time registrations.
- Example: The “Customers” module stores all customer records; the “Orders” module stores orders.
- Dashboards: The starting point for users. Dashboards display key information and workflows relevant to the user’s role.
Usage Example
Site/Module Analogy:
- If you know databases: Sites = databases, Modules = tables, Items = rows.
- If you know file systems: Sites = root folders, Modules = subfolders, Items = files.
