Modules and Templates

A Module (or Configuration Item) is a generic term to describe any one piece of configuration within Statelake.

For instance, a Module could refer to a DB Connection, a Web Definition, a Map, or an Action. The following is a list of specific configuration items that are all referred to as Modules when discussed generically.

• General Setup
• Users
• Logs
• DB Connection
• File Connection
• Web Connection
• DB Definition
• File Definition
• Web Definition
• Transport
• Report
• Map
• Action
• Trading Partner
• Folder

When a Module is exported from the configuration database, it is generally referred to as a Template. When a Module is exported, all the dependent Modules are also exported to the Template. This Template can then be imported into another configuration database and the original module is recreated exactly.
