Developing with eCatalog: Customization and Extensions

Empowering Programmers to Enhance and Customize

eCatalog's back-end system is designed not only to support a wide range of business operations but also to empower programmers to tailor the system according to each project's unique requirements. This flexibility is crucial for businesses looking to extend functionality without altering the core system architecture.

What Programmers Can Do with eCatalog:

• Custom Record Listeners
  Programmers can create listeners that trigger custom actions when records are created, updated, or deleted. For instance, a custom record listener on the User-Administration module could automatically send an email notification when a new user account is created, enhancing communication and record-keeping.
• Custom Scheduled Jobs:
  Automated Tasks: Developers have the ability to define and schedule custom jobs that execute predefined scripts or tasks at set intervals. This feature allows for automation of routine tasks, such as data backups, report generation, or custom data processing, tailored to the needs of the business.
• Advanced Customizations:
  Beyond listeners and scheduled jobs, eCatalog offers a wide array of development opportunities, allowing programmers to design bespoke modules and functionalities that integrate seamlessly with the existing system.
