Adding extended actions
An extended action is an action in the action panel that is not provided by default. It can either be added by Planon or by another organization. Typically, an extended action is used to run custom Java code on the client side of Planon ProCenter , or to start an external program or application. This also involves sending any relevant Planon data to the custom Java class or application.
 | A prerequisite before carrying out this procedure is that the relevant extension class must already exist. |
