The Amber Concept: Adaptive User Interface
|
The Main module provides you with individual user interface customization options. You can adjust any filter fields, display mode elements (tables, lists, or icons), report table columns at the back-end and in the front-end; you can easily change the way tables filter, sort, and display information; you can adjust even the mouse behaviors when working with the system! The Adaptive Interface allows you to perform group operations on virtually all elements at the back-end and in the front-end (deleting, renaming, activation, and etc. - a.k.a. "bulk edit").

Easy and Quick Website Template Management
|
The built-in template system managed by the Main module is part of the new Amber Concept. It allows you to manage each website template separately, meaning that you can apply different website templates and styles for one or several websites, one or many website sections, pages, components placed on pages, public scripts, and other elements used by the Bitrix web applications. You can create and use an unlimited number of website templates that can be applied and used simultaneously by any number of websites on a single product installation. All website templates can be edited in WYSIWYG editor, as well. |

Module Management System
|
|
The Main module is used to manage all other modules present in Bitrix Site Manager and Bitrix Intranet Portal. It is the glue that holds together all the parts of the system's architecture. Besides its main functions, the Main module also supports creating custom modules, as well as integration of 3rd-party modules and solutions. We provide extensive programming interface API for the Main module to ensure a smooth development and integration process. |

Multiple Website & Domain Support
|
Bitrix Site Manger and Bitrix Intranet Portal web applications can support multiple websites based on one product installation (please find more details about the Licensing Policy, here). You can use several web servers to retreat data: the Main module allows you to use a different web server for each website while sharing a single database.
The Main module allows you to run and manage websites with an unlimited number of domains of any level. The Main module enables you to create shared authorization system for all websites you created using one and the same product installation. The Main module allows you to share authentication information among different website domains, as well. |

Access Permission Management
|
The Main module simplifies group-based assignment of responsibilities and access permissions, meaning that you can create an unlimited number of user groups with different access permission levels, as well as you can create an unlimited number of user accounts (i.e. registered users) which can be assigned to several user groups with different access permission levels. |

Internal and External Authorization Options
|
The Main module allows both the internal and external authorization. The login and password can be verified locally using a custom algorithm, or on a remote server (all product distribution kits include an example of external authorization for PHP, BB and Invision forums). The Main module supports CAPTCHA. If CAPTCHA is enabled, a user must enter a string with the displayed random symbols to register. As mentioned above, the Main module can also allow you to share authentication information among different website domains, as well. In critical situations, you can also temporarily limit access to the public section of your web project to all website visitors. |

Multi Language Support for GUI
| Besides localization of system messages at the front-end and at the back-end, the Main module allows you use multiple language version of GUI (Graphical User Interface), including the Main Toolbar which is massively used by the content managers. The Main module also supports native UTF-8, meaning that you can translate this product into any language! The UTF-8 support can be enabled at the very initial stage of the system installation process. There are a number of interface languages already available for you absolutely free of any additional charges! | |

System Reporting Tools
| The Main module allows you to create templates for e-mail messages that are sent over to the website administrator (or other responsible persons) each time a new event occurs (new forum post, subscription re`quest, registration information retrieval etc.). Besides the event-specific notifications, the Main module provides you with other additional system reporting features, e.g. Control Panel data export in MS Excel / CSV formats. | |

Website Management Tools
| You can send custom SQL queries to the database, implement user-defined event handlers. If a need arises, you can verify the conformance of technical requirements and file system access permissions using the Main module tools. It also supports Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs which are very important for your website in terms of search engine optimization (learn more about the Bitrix SEO Module). System roll-back and system back-up tools are also provide by the Main module. Above all, the Main module supports dynamic information caching technology, "Cache Dependencies" technology, and has an advanced HTML caching mechanism at your disposal (these caching mechanisms have been thoroughly developed to reduce server load by saving results of database requests). | |
