Plugins

Plugins can be used to provide data from any Intrexx application, such as important sales data from various applications, or bundled appointments from various calendars.

Plugins are defined via the Properties dialog box of the application node or the Properties dialog box of a data group.

To define multiple plugins for different data groups, select the Plugins tab of the application’s Properties dialog box. There you will see an overview of all plugins defined in the application.

If you want to define a plugin for a single data group, go to the Plugins tab of the Properties dialog box for the corresponding data group. An overview of plugins defined for that data group is shown there.

Creating a plugin works the same in both dialog boxes. The only difference between the two is that when creating a plugin via the application in the first dialog box, the desired data group needs to be selected. When creating a plugin through the data group, the data group is already selected and cannot be changed.

Intrexx Share

One of the most important characteristics of Intrexx Share is the seamless integration of any application. Intrexx Share plugins can be defined in the Intrexx applications via the properties of the data groups. Users with sufficient permissions can subscribe to the defined plugins in Intrexx Share in the form of apps. A plugin can be defined in every Intrexx application, and every Intrexx Share user with the appropriate access rights to the application can subscribe to the plugin. A plugin consists essentially of two parts:

Post display page (Desktop or mobile)

This page displays the post in Intrexx Share. Here you have the option to display all of the required information.

Edit page (Desktop or mobile)

If a plugin has been subscribed to, or made available as a predefined plugin, in the Apps tab of the input area of Intrexx Share you can find the input page (configured in the plugin) of the corresponding applications. Frequently used functionality, e.g. holiday requests, callbacks, activities, can thus be used very conveniently, directly in Intrexx Share.

On the Plugins tab in the properties of data groups, the plugins required for Intrexx Share can be defined. All entries and records in data groups, for which plugins have been configured, will be displayed in Intrexx Share.
