Dear colleagues,

With RWS one can load a RAPID module into a specified task: [Robot Web Services: Load RAPID module into a rapid task](https://developercenter.robotstudio.com/api/rwsApi/rapid_task_loadmod_page.html)

There are, however, **shared** modules, which do not belong to a specific task but are shared between all tasks. How can I load a shared module with RWS?

You must enable/select the option “Shared” inside the Configuration - Automatic Loading of Modules - then on the respective Module. See attached.

@jmf the question is, how to do it over RWS.
