Managing Modules
SiteBuilder modules enable Users to create feature rich Internet representations and complex portals. Modules form the basis of sites created with the SiteBuilder Wizard and define the available functionality. For more information about SiteBuilder modules managed in the Administrator Panel, refer to the SiteBuilder 2.1.3 for Unix User's Guide (you can get it here).
SiteBuilder provides the following modules:
