ABSTRACT:
The functionality of a core application is extended using an add-on application (module) by extending native data types on the core application with custom data types and custom actions on the module. The module provides metadata associated with its custom data types and custom actions to the core application, which creates a dynamic type/action table. In some cases, native data types may be extended with custom data types and their associated actions. In other cases, native data types may be extended with custom actions from the module. The custom actions may be enabled for instances of native data types that have been extended. When a custom action is selected, code corresponding with the selected custom action is called from the module and run to perform the selected custom action.
