Creating New Modules Module Builder functionality is managed within the ‘Developer Tools’ section of Sugar’s administration console. Figure 2: Module Builder is part of the ‘Developer Tools’ section of Sugar Administration Upon selecting ‘Module Builder’, the user has the option of creating a “New Package”. Packages are a collection of custom modules, objects and fields, that can be published within the application instance or shared across instances of Sugar. Once the user selects a “New Package”, the user names and describes the type of Custom Module to be created. A package key, usually based on the organization or name of the package creator is required to prevent conflicts between two packages with the same name from different authors. In this case, the package will be named “MediaTracking” to explain its purpose and a key based on the author name will be used. Figure 3: The user begins by creating and naming the new Custom Module Package Once the new package is created and saved, the user is presented with a screen to create a Custom Module. Upon selecting the “New Module” icon, a screen appears showing six different object templates.
