In modules, you 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. For more information on how the workspace artifacts are related to each other, see Setting up modules.

To create a module, make sure that you completed the previous lesson.

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. For every module that you create, a corresponding view is created by default. These views help you to administer the modules.

In this lesson, you learned how to create a module in a workspace.

In the next lesson, you define the attributes for the elements that can be added to this module.
