# Layouts From A Module

If you need the set layout to be rendered from a specific module then use the `module` argument from the `setLayout() or renderLayout()` methods:

```javascript
component name="general"{

    function index(event,rc,prc){

        // call some model for data and put into the request collection
        prc.myQuery = getInstance('MyService').getData();
        // set the view for rendering
        event.setLayout( name="admin", module="contentbox" );

    }

}
```
