Create a New Module

To create a new module, it is necessary to create or add a form type to the module at the same time. The term “module” represents a container for the form type(s) that project staff uses to enter and view data in TRACE. As a result, the Create a new module dialog provides fields for two pieces of information:

●      Name: The module name, for example, Requirements.

●      Short Name: The name that displays on the Module bar icon, for example, Reqs.

Modules that employ a tree structure typically have two form types, one for the parent group and another for the child. See Field Type for additional information.

See Modify or Create Form Types for specific step-by-step information on accessing the Create a new module dialog as part of creating a new form type.
