Adding Custom Modules

Custom Modules are added at Packages > Custom Modules and must then be added to package definitions so that they will be included in packages.

To add a new Custom module:

In the Custom Modules Actions pane, select the Insert action ( ). This opens the Custom Module Insert dialog.

In the Insert Custom Module dialog, configure the following properties:

General Properties	Do this
Name	Enter a name for the new Custom Module.
Install Order	Enter a new value into this field. Values must be between 1000 and 20000 - the lower the number, the earlier the module is placed in the install order.
Attributes	Tick the boxes for any attributes that need to be specified, then click OK to close the dialog. Include in all Packages - ticking this box means that this module will always be included in all package definitions. If the box is not ticked, the modules must be manually added using the Custom Modules dialog in the Package Definitions context.
