Add-in Manager

Add-in managers make changes within the Archibus environment using the Archibus technologies examples, tools, and conventions. These add-ins can affect the user interface, such as changes made with the View Definition Wizard or changes to the schema tables. Add-in Managers can also change calculations and workflow (such as changes made using the Basic Rule Wizard or by hand-edited .java workflow rules).

As the Add-in Manager, you can perform such tasks as:

• personalize the interface. See Navigator Overview and Introduction to User Interface Extensions .
• customize the database by editing the schema tables
• apply your schema changes to other project databases by running the Database Update Wizard.
• if your schema change alters the database structure, you must run the Schema Change Wizard.
• define views and change existing views by running the View Definition Wizard .
• hand-edit view files using the instructions in this section of System Management Help
• enforce business logic by defining workflow rules

Add-in managers will find their documentation in both Archibus Help and Archibus System Management Help:

• See the Add-In Manager section of System Management Help (this section)
• See the User Help topic, Archibus Web Central User's Guide / Add-In Manager / Overview .

Add-in managers can run tasks from the System / Add-in Manager role on the Navigator. Both Web Central and Smart Client offer this role.
