Toolkit
The Toolkit is the engine that builds the netFORUM software. The Toolkit allows you to develop netFORUM Objects and Forms built around database Tables, and drives the user interface for staff users in iWeb and external users in eWeb.
An independent module itself in netFORUM, the Toolkit also builds all the other netFORUM modules.
