The Plug-in Manager lets the user manage plug-in applications for performing specialized functions.

Manage Ribbon > Utilities Group

It is possible for users to create their own plug-ins with the Project API Builder (Application Programming Interface). The Plug-in Manager allows you to view the plug-ins that are available on your system and activate or de-activate them.

Note: Some plug-in software functions are launched from the standard OpenUtilities Substation menus; however specialized plug-in functions are launched from the Plug-Ins menu, which is only present when you have specialized plug-in software modules installed.

When you select the name of a plug-in, a description of the plug-in appears at the bottom of the dialog.

The dialog displays the plug-in name, the company that made it, the plug-in version number and whether it is active or not. A plug-in is active when a check-mark appears in the Active column. To de-activate (turn off) a plug-in, clear the check box in the Active column.
