# Overview [Registers](/concepts-and-fundamentals/on-a-computer/using-the-datagrid.md), [Positions](/system-administration/configuring-the-system/positions.md) and [Resources](broken://pages/rGPBlfWrNvfvFLAZUZhY) are grouped into and configured as a **Module**, which are typically found in the main menu navigation. *Core modules* are included with almost all implementations. Your **Package** may include a combination of core modules and custom-built and configured modules. Based on the configuration of each module, Register Items may be assigned to **users** and **positions**, and they may utilise **resources** and relate to **assets**. Additionally, Registers implement [**workflows**](/concepts-and-fundamentals/concepts-and-fundamentals.md#workflow-and-communications) using combinations of **status**, **priority**, **assignment**, **filters**, **escalations** and [**notifications**](/concepts-and-fundamentals/on-a-computer/notifications-and-alerts.md), which help users to effectively manage the event. The following sections outline some of the built in and custom modules included in the base system. Access to each of these modules will depend on your your position and duties as well as your organisation's configuration. This following is a brief summary for each of the main system packages: ## Core Features
