In this article we will look at how to create a simple custom fields in Jiwa 7 using plug-ins.
What is a Plug-in?
A plug-in is a software component that allows users/developers to add specific features to an existing software application.
Jiwa 7 supports plug-ins thus allowing new functions/features to be added to the application in order to meet your specific functional requirements.
Before proceeding please ensure that you;
- Have a clear understanding of how custom fields work in Jiwa,
- Have confirmed what type of custom field is required, and
- Have confirmed what form the custom field is required in
A single plugin can be created for multiple custom fields for example instead of creating a plugin for each custom field on the Debtors Maintenance form a single plugin can be created for all the custom fields on the same form.
From the menu select System Settings | Plugins | Plugin Maintenance
