Create New Modules dialog

Modules are created through a web form. Each module can be re-named and saved as a quickstart (2). The module content depends on the module type. The module's form can include a WYSIWYG or code editor, formated input boxes, image uploader, or other form elements (1). A module is not added to a page until the form is submitted (3).

Reusing QuickStart Modules

Quickstart Modules are reusable modules that can quickly be added to multiple ICA pages.
When you add a quickstart module to a page you are adding a copy of the module. Once added to a new page the quickstart modules become a part of that new page therefore, when you edit one it will not change the equivalent module on other ICA pages.
