Modules & Features¶

In your account settings, the Modules & Features tab lets you show or hide individual functional areas — independently of, but building on, your chosen experience level. The result is a clean interface tailored exactly to the way you work.

Prerequisites¶

• You are signed in (or using Light Mode on a local device).
• You have already set your experience level in the Onboarding Wizard or in your account settings (see Onboarding Wizard).

Opening the Settings¶

1. Click your profile picture or user icon in the top-right corner.
2. Select Account Settings.
3. Switch to the Modules & Features tab.

You will see a list of all modules you can show or hide, grouped by category.

How Module Visibility Works¶

Three states per module¶

Each module has three possible settings:

What changes when a module is hidden¶

Hiding a module removes it consistently from:

• the sidebar (navigation items)
• the dashboard (related widgets and quick-actions)
• shortcuts and links elsewhere in the interface

Your data within that module is fully preserved. When you re-enable the module, the complete feature set is immediately available again.

Direct URL access to hidden modules¶

If you navigate directly to a page belonging to a hidden module — via a URL or a saved link — you will see a friendly notice instead of a 404 error:

"This module is hidden. Would you like to re-enable it?"

Clicking Open in Settings takes you directly to the Modules & Features tab. Shared or bookmarked links are never broken.

Showing or Hiding a Module¶

Step 1: Find the module in the list¶

Modules are organised into collapsible category sections (accordions). Use the search field at the top to quickly locate a specific module.

Step 2: Change the setting¶

Toggle the switch next to the module:

• On — module is visible (always show)
• Off — module is hidden (always hide)

A small status label next to the switch shows the current effective state: "follows experience level: visible" or "manually hidden".

Step 3: Reset to default¶

To remove a manual override and let the module follow your experience level again, click the Reset link next to that module.

Changes are saved immediately — no separate confirmation button is needed.

Core Modules: Always Visible¶

The following modules are essential functions of the application and cannot be hidden. They appear in the Modules & Features tab as fixed entries labelled "Core function — always visible":

Available Modules (Overview)¶

The table below lists all modules you can show or hide, along with the default visibility threshold per experience level.

Relationship to Experience Level¶

Module visibility and the experience level complement each other but do not replace each other:

• The experience level controls how much detail and how many fields are shown within a module (e.g. advanced EC fields, technical parameters).
• Module visibility controls whether an entire functional area appears at all.

    style B fill:#8D6E63,color:#fff
    style C fill:#388E3C,color:#fff

A level change automatically affects all modules for which you have not set a manual override. Modules you have explicitly shown or hidden remain unchanged.

Light Mode (Without Login)¶

In Light Mode — when Kamerplanter runs locally without registration — your module settings are stored in the browser's local storage. They are available immediately on that device.

When you later register or sign in, your locally stored settings are automatically migrated to your account. No preferences are lost.
