Various modules provide you with different insights into your data. As the terminology can vary from organization to organization, you can rename the modules to ensure their purpose is clear to everyone on your team.

In this section, you can use the toggle switches to specify which modules are available by default in all boxes of a given box type. Additionally, you can change the module names. 

Activating the modules and editing their names function the exact same way as in the [Module (box configuration)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/297996086) section of a box.
