What is an UWA module?

An UWA-Modul is a web-based tool that can be used to individually change the design of your Open-Xchange start page. That way Open-Xchange enables you to integrate various tools of external services into your start page.

As default Open-Xchange's start page displays new E-Mails, calendar entries and other current information. With UWA modules you can additionally add individual contents; e. g. local weather forecasts, sports news, games and many more.

Open-Xchange uses Netvibes UWA for the UWA modules. Further informationen can be found on http://netvibes.com.
