Lesson: Modules in Epinomy

Within Epinomy, the term 'Module' refers to the distinct categories or sectors that help organize the software’s extensive functionalities. Think of them as chapters in a book, where each chapter covers a specific subject. Each module encapsulates related tasks and functions, making it simpler to navigate and manage different operations, from buying and selling to stock management and beyond.

1. Overview of Modules

Modules are the building blocks of Epinomy, ensuring that tasks related to a particular area of operation are grouped together. For example, all tasks, reports, and functionalities related to the sales process are grouped under the 'Selling' module.

2. Accessing Modules

Each module in Epinomy is represented as a card or icon in the Workspace. By clicking on one of these icons, you gain access to the specific tools, reports, and functionalities of that module.

3. Anatomy of a Module

When you open a module, you'll generally find: - Dashboard: Provides a summary of the most important and frequently used data associated with the module. - Tools: Specific functionalities or applications related to that module. - Reports: Data summaries, often available in tabular or chart format, that provide insights on activities or trends related to that module. - Shortcuts: Quick links to frequently performed tasks or operations. - Settings: Options to customize or tweak how the module behaves or displays information.
