For System Administrators

There are multiple ways to customize and add on to TeamLeader, including the following:
1. TeamLeader AddOns - You can create your own executables using any language that the administrator can add to the TeamLeader ‘Tools’ menu. The administrator can select parameters for TeamLeader to pass to the custom executables. You can also use this approach, passing no parameters, to integrate existing products. Items under the AddOn menu must be in the same location on each machine. A networked drive is an ideal place, so that there only needs to be one copy. If a tool is located at C:\Program Files\ToolFile Program\ToolFile.exe, then ToolFile.exe MUST be installed on every machine.
2. OLE Objects - Products, such as MS Paint, which support OLE Automation, can be attached to TeamLeader Action Items, allowing in-place editing if supported by the Automation Object.
3. Custom Forms - Use the TeamLeader Form Designer to develop simple forms, customized to the needs of your organization.
4. Lifecycles – Set up predefined routing sequences.
5. Changes of Labels - By using MS Access, a developer can change the CUSTOM table of the TEAM database. The following approach allows a developer limited control over names of tags on screens:
· Form_Name - Specify the title of the form as it appears in the Title Bar of the Window
· Control_Name - Specify the current ‘reading’ of the Label
· Control_Value - Specify the new value of the Label
· Control_Visable – Whether or not the label should be visible
· Mandatory – Whether or not the field should be required
(additional fields are not currently recognized or supported)
6. Custom Programming - You can expand on the main task screen using the TeamLeader Plug-in Kit available only from Virtual Global.
