Content Group

A Content Group (aka Module) is a way to group functionality together in a common area. Accessed from the "Application Module" icon in the Toolkit module. Each Content Group represents one of the main modules in NetForum (for example, CRM, Accounting, and so on).

Adding a Content Group

There is no add link for a Content Group, but you can add a new one by doing the following:

  1. Navigate to the Toolkit module.
  2. From the AMS Content Management group item, choose List Content Groups.
  3. From the List Results page, click the add record icon on the List Page Action Links to add a new content group.

FAQ

Q. I would like to change the name of a module. Is there a downside to this? Will this complicate an upgrade?

A. No, it is OK to change a module name -- assuming this is all that you do. We recommend that you not lock the Content Group record when you change it, and after a build upgrade, just change the name back to the desired name.

If you want to change a word throughout a module, on labels, forms, columns, child forms, then we recommend strongly against doing this. If, for example, you want to change every instance of the word "Member" to "Subscriber," this is simply a bad idea as you will be greatly complicating your upgrade path simply because of nomenclature.

Keep in mind that eWeb is different, and can accommodate more exact text.
