The modules explained

This article explains the various modules that come packed with the Topsportslab platform. Modules are a set of functionalities that allow you to access certain pages and certain types of data within the platform.

Every module contains a certain set of functionalities (pages), together with a list of roles that can access those functionalities by default. Depending on whether or not you are a Team Admin or a Club Admin you may override the list of roles that can have access to those functionalities. However, you can only override the default rights per module (not per page).

Modules are eventually grouped together in module sets (like menu items), depending of the contract your organisation has with Topsportslab, and shape the way the platform looks for you. Organisations can choose between 3 module sets:

  • Topsportslab
  • Refereelab
  • Coachadmin

You can learn mode about module sets here.

This article will give you a simple overview of what modules are available in the platform together with a short summary. Every module in the overview will be linked to an article that goes more into detail.
