Article Summary

Overview

In addition to the Modules available for download within the core product, additional Modules are available from the Decisions GitHub page.

Each Module's repository contains a description of version availability and whether a Module is experimental.

Installing the Module via Github causes the Module's zip file to be added to the database so that the module can be restored on cluster nodes in a clustered environment.

  4. Copy the downloaded ZIP file to C:\Program Files\Decisions\Decisions Server\CustomModules.
