Work with Customization Manager¶
Customization Manager is intended to be a simple and easy to use but it never hurts to have a few pointers when getting started.
The interface is composed of the Package Grid and a set of Action Buttons.
The Pakage Grid¶
The package grid always displays all the customizations that are associated with the configured API key, whether they are installed or not.
All customizations have a short Name that is used to
uniquely identify them. In the figure above, the
first customization is named expip
and is Customization
Manager.
The name is followed by a meaningful Description of what the customization does.
There are two versions in the grid: the Installed Version and the
Available Version. The Installed Version is the version running
in the current company; it is set to -
for customizations that
are not installed. The Available Version is the latest version
available for install.
All customizations have a Status. The status can be any of:
Available
: the customization is compatible and available for installation.Up to Date
: the customization is installed and at the latest version.Upgrade Available
: a newer version of the customization is available for download.
Finally, Customization Manager checks each customization for
Compatibility with the current versions of Sage and Extender.
If the Sage and Extender versions meet the minimum requirements, Yes
is
displayed.
If they do not meet the minimum requirements,
the compatiblity issue, either a Sage or Extender version, is displayed
here.
The Action Buttons¶
The actions buttons are enabled and disabled based on the highlighted customization. There are two that never change:
- Close: close Customization Manager without taking any further action.
- View Log: open the log files from the two most recent actions and display them in the default text editor.
All the others change state based on whether the highlighted customization is installed, has an upgrade available, and is compatible.
- Install: Install a Customization
- Upgrade: Upgrade a Customization
- Uninstall: Uninstall a Customization
- Install Modules: for sites with multiple companies, Install Modules
