Modules are the children, or the second tier navigation options to the applications in the application navigator. Modules often link to other pages or records in the platform. You can configure which modules appear in the application navigator using Application Menus module.

1. Open the application menu record using one of the following methods.
   • Navigate to System Definition > Application Menus and select the application menu from the list.
   • In UI16, point to the application menu and click the edit application (pencil) icon.
   • In UI15, right-click the application label in the application navigator and select Edit Application.

   

2. Scroll down to the Modules related list and click New.
3. Define the module by completing the fields on the Module form.

   Table 1. Module form

   Title	Defines the module name. Choose a title that clearly identifies the module.
   Application menu	Specifies the name of the application menu under which the module appears.
