Modules are the functional building blocks of LabKey Server. A folder's functionality is determined by the set of modules that are
enabled in that folder. The
Folder Type of a project or folder determines an initial set of enabled modules, and additional modules included in the deployment can be enabled as necessary. For details see
Enable a Module in a Folder.
To learn which modules are included in the various editions of LabKey Server, see
Modules in LabKey Server Editions.
