Standard Modules

The standard modules extend Orchard Core CMS with user and role enhancements, content tools, compliance and phone-number services, reporting, shared front-end resources and real-time infrastructure. The AI, Omnichannel, Telephony and Contact Center suites build on them.

This section is for developers and IT: feature IDs, dependencies, configuration, recipes and extension points.

Day-to-day use

The administrators who use these features in the browser have their own guides in the User Manual's Site Administration section: Users, Roles and Permissions, Restrict Content by Role, Content Fields, Bulk Import and Export, Do Not Call Lists, Phone Number Verification, Time Zones, Reports and the Report Builder.

Installation

You can install all CrestApps modules at once:

dotnet add package CrestApps.OrchardCore.Cms.Core.Targets

Or install individual modules as needed:

dotnet add package CrestApps.OrchardCore.Users
# etc.

After installation, enable the features under Tools -> Features, or with the Feature recipe step. Features marked "dependency only" do not appear as a toggle; they are enabled automatically by the features that need them. Settings that the modules read from appsettings.json and environment variables are listed on the Configuration page.
