What is used for?
Joomla native Modules Manager is an excelent component, that does it work well. So what`s wrong?
Well, native manager is focused on "modules" point of view.
All addition view`s: menu items, templates, positions are presented as filters or sub systems.
Surely it`s not enough.

It does not have all the options of native modules manager,
but have the visual means for fast positions overview and changing basic states with one click.
You can select menu item and see all the modules that assigned to it, in all templates, in all positions.
Jposition is tabless, unlike a native module manager, designed to be extreamly user friendly.
Features:
Simple and elegant interface, powered by Mootols javascript library.
Observe all site positions in one place (including content positions).
Easy navigation between menu items
Higlight positions by template relevancy.
Move or sort modules by dragging.
