PlanSwift was designed to be expandable through the addition of plugins. Plugins allow you to quickly and easily customize your PlanSwift platform and differentiate you from your competition. Plugins are comparable to apps for a smart phone because they enhance the capabilities of PlanSwift's core utility.
Plugins, or add-ons, include custom applications and custom content. Custom application plugins are of three main plugin types: Shell Execute, Executable, and Script Code. Custom content plugins can include templates, parts, assemblies, lists, estimating layouts, and reports. Plugins can be either content-only (such as any Starter Pack), or an application only (such as Zones Tool or Excel Import Tool), or a combination of both content and an application (such as EarthWorkPro).
Clicking on the Plugins tab opens the PlanSwift Plugin Store, where you can select from various plugins. Starter Packs contain a large library of prebuilt templates, parts, and assemblies, which can be modified to users' specific needs. Utilizing a starter pack is a good starting point for building custom parts and assemblies. Each plugin has its own User Guide with instructions for installation and use and a compendium listing all included parts and assemblies.
The Plugins Tab gives you access to Tools Manager and Importing (installing) and uninstalling Plugins.
