About Modules

Overview

Modules within the Decisions platform expand and introduce new functionalities and customization options. They facilitate integration with external platforms like Azure, HL7, Message System queues, and many more, enhancing the platform's versatility. Upon installation, many modules offer pre-built Flow Steps and configuration settings, which can be used in a Project. For a detailed list of modules available in the platform, refer to Available Modules.

Decisions have two types of modules ready to install:

Core Modules

These are the core modules that are added to the platform by the installer.

GitHub Modules

These modules are not installed by the installer but are fetched in real-time from Decisions GitHub. These modules are open-source and accessible to all. Users can customize this open-source module and manually install it in Decisions. Each module's repository describes version availability and whether or not a module is considered experimental.

Navigate to the Repositories section of the Decisions GitHub Page to see all the available modules.

Disable the GitHub Modules

Admin users can turn off populating the GitHub Modules in the platform by enabling Disable GitHub Modules in Integration Settings. Doing so, the platform will not send requests to GitHub, and the modules will no longer be visible to install.

If you want to re-enable the modules, service restart is a must to view the GitHub modules after enabling.

Note:

• Disabling will not impact the GitHub module(s) that have already been installed on the server.

• After re-enabling it in the integration settings, service restart is a must to view the GitHub modules.

What Changed from v8 to v9?

Upgrading to v9?

After upgrading from version 8 to version 9, users must create a module dependency at the project level after project conversion.

Create a Custom Module

In addition to pre-built modules, Decisions offers support for developers to create custom modules with defined Designer elements using the Decisions SDK.
