Categories

Content in Quantela Field Operations is arranged into Categories and Modules. For example, the Roads category may have modules to display the current traffic congestion and to plan a route. The Nearby category may have modules for various public services, each of which can provide details of the service and directions to navigate to it. The system administrator can create and configure any number of categories to manage the CMS modules.
