Modules are the functional building blocks of LabKey Server. Modules handle requests sent to the server, and craft the responses. A folder's functionality is determined by the set of modules that are
enabled in that folder. When a new project or folder is created, a
Folder Type is selected, which determines an initial set of enabled modules, but additional modules can be enabled as necessary. For details see
Enable a Module in a Folder.
The list below describes the modules that are included in the standard distribution of LabKey Server Community Edition.
Announcements
Provides a ready-to-use message board where users can post announcements and files, and participate in threaded discussions. See
Messages.

The Flow module supplies flow-specific services to the flow application.
- Flow Analysis (Flow Analysis Folders)
- Flow Analysis Scripts
- Flow Overview (Experiment Management)
Issues
The Issues module provides a ready-to-use workflow system for tracking tasks and problems across a group.
List
Lists are light-weight data tables, often used to hold utility data that supports an application or project, such as a list of instrument configurations.
Luminex
Supports Luminex data import and analysis.
Microarray
Implements the Microarray assay type.
MS1
The MS1 module supplies MS1-specific services to the MS1 application.
MS2
The MS2 module supplies MS2-specific services to the MS2/CPAS application.

NAb
The NAb module provides tools for planning, analyzing and organizing experiments that address Neutralizing Antibodies. No web parts are provided. Access NAb services via a custom tab in a custom folder.
Pipeline
The Data Pipeline module uploads experiment data files to LabKey Server. You can track the progress of uploads and view log and output files. These provide further details on the progress of data files through the pipeline, from file conversion to the final location of the analyzed runs.
Query
The Query module allows you to
create customized views by
filtering and
sorting data.
Search
The Search module offers full-text search of server contents, implemented by Lucene.
