The AppWorx Documentation System contains documentation for AppWorx "Jobs". The Job documentation gives an overview of the Job's purpose, steps, and other technical information. Chains and Modules are AppWorx objects associated with a Job. Basically, Chains and Modules are steps in the Job. In the AppWorx Documentation System the Job acts like a parent in that each Job has a child object (Chain or Module). This child object is what is either scheduled to run in AppWorx or is ran manually in AppWorx.
A Chain contains a set of steps, which can be any combination of Chains and/or Modules. These steps are the child objects of the Chain. A Module is a single step; therefore, it does not have any child objects.
The UC4 Software company renamed the AppWorx application Applications Manager. When this occurred UC4 also changed the Chain object name to Process and Module object name to Job. This change caused confusion for the AppWorx Document System users, since the name Job was already in use as the top tier of the documentation. In an effort to keep things simple, the name AppWorx Documentation System was retained, and the names Chain and Module were also retained. However, keep in mind that in Applications Manager you will see Processes and Jobs, not Chains and Modules.
