Modules

Modules are how you turn on capabilities. Each module is a self-contained feature package — its own screens, menus, and data — that the platform loads into your instance. You enable the modules your plan entitles you to, and they appear in the Studio for your tenant. Nothing is forked, and new modules can be added without changing the platform.

How modules work

  • Self-contained. A module brings its own pages, navigation, and (optionally) APIs and background work.
  • Discovered automatically. When ABS starts, it finds every installed module — whether it's built in or added later as a package — and registers its services, menu, and screens.
  • Scoped per tenant. Each tenant only sees and can open the modules its plan entitles it to; access is enforced by Identity & Access.
  • Extensible by you. You can write your own modules in C# and load them the same way. See Module development.
