Use of the built-in MODULE_ID field is discouraged for new configurations. This field and its relationship with the built-in PRODUCT_NAME field will be deprecated in a future release. Support for existing use of the field will continue at this time. You should configure a UDF in place of the MODULE_ID field.
Module names are managed a little differently to other lists. This is because there is a built-in relationship between PRODUCT_NAME and MODULE_ID. ExtraView does not use an Allowed Value relationship to manage this.
To add or modify a Module, click Module Names on the Lists tab. The following screen appears:
Module Names screen
Click the Add icon to create a new Module Name. Since Module depends on Product, you will have to choose an applicable Product from the drop-down list to associate with your new Module. Fill in the appropriate fields and click the Update button.
Adding a Module Name
To modify an already existing Module Name, return to the Administration menu, click the Manage Field List Data tab, and select Module Name, as in step 4. Select the Product that pertains to the Module that you want to edit.
If you have set the display type for the MODULE_ID field to be popup, then searching for a value is slightly different than for other fields. The search mechanism utilizes the name value of this field, not the value of the title. In most instances, the name and title of the field values for modules are the same, but in the cases where they are not identical, the popup list will display name_value(title_value), allowing you to distinguish between the name and the title.
The owner of the module will automatically receive email notification when the module is selected on an issue. Also, there are two behavior settings that affect the way notification happens with the module field.
| Setting | Purpose |
| EMAIL_MODULE_OWNER_ALWAYS | Email the module owner irrespective of whether they are assigned to an issue. Valid values are YES and NO |
| LINK_MODULE_USER | Links the module owner field to the specified user field. This will automatically set the value of the user field specified to the value stored in the Module Owner field This can have a value of ASSIGNED_TO, CONTACT or OWNER |
Editing an Existing Module
Click the Edit button next to the Module that you wish to change. On the screen that appears, you can edit the values, and then Update the record.
