Enabling and disabling modules
Many of JOATOS's features are optional modules you can switch on or off to match how your organisation works — keeping the interface focused. Manage them under Settings → Modules (admin only).
Core vs optional
A few modules are core and can't be turned off: Dashboard, Sites, Devices, Servers, and Settings.
Everything else is optional, grouped much like the top bar:
| Group | Optional modules |
|---|---|
| Inventory | Services, Software, Endpoints, Assets |
| Operations | Status, Maintenance, Diagrams, Website Uptime, Tasks, Changes, Ownership |
| Domains & SSL | Domains, SSL Certificates |
| Insights | Reports, Tools, Logs |
| Security | Discovery, Credentials, Vulnerabilities, AD Audit, Network Access |
| Service desk | Helpdesk, Workflows, Knowledge Base, Playbooks, AI Assist |
| Platform | Directory Sync |
Ten modules are off by default and have to be switched on before anyone can use them:
Helpdesk · Workflows · Knowledge Base · AI Assist · Playbooks · AD Audit · Ownership · Changes · Directory Sync · Network Access
If a colleague can't find a feature described in these guides, check this list first — an off-by-default module is invisible rather than disabled, so there's nothing on screen to explain its absence.
Network Access needs more than switching on. Even once enabled, it stays hidden until a ClearPass connection is configured under Settings → Integrations.
Turning modules on or off
- Go to Settings → Modules.
- Toggle a module on or off. Changes are marked unsaved.
- Select Save.
A disabled module is hidden from the menu and pages immediately, decluttering the interface for everyone in the organisation.
Notes & tips
- Turning a module off hides its interface; it doesn't delete any data — turn it back on and your data is still there.
- Module visibility is separate from permissions — modules control what's on for the whole org; permissions control who can use what.
