Customization Overview


Customizations are largely dependant on what components need to be customized in order to produce the required functionality. Listed below is each major component and what level of customization can be performed by your organization.
 

SQL Back-end

The application back-end is written in Microsoft SQL
® 2005 or higher. The business logic and data handling are performed exclusively by SQL stored procedures and are highly customizable. We can direct our core code to search for custom stored procedures and if found, execute them so they can perform the custom logic. This method of code injection can be performed at almost any place in our core procedures provided the custom procedures use objects names as defined by DTH Software. In most circumstances we  expose chunks of our SQL source code to you in order to facilitate the customization.

If you need to re-use any of our existing functionality in your customization, (create charges, calculate bills, etc), we will instruct you as to which stored procedures to call and what parameters to pass.

You may not alter the schema of any core tables but you may add tables to the database and use pre-defined keys to relate back to the core tables.

 

Reporting Engine

The reporting engine is written in Crystal Reports
® 10 and is completely customizable.

You can edit all existing reports or create new reports. To edit an existing report simply take the original report from the \Reports\ folder, edit as necessary and then put the new version in the \CustomReports\ folder.

To add a new report to the system, create it using the OLE DB for SQL provider and run it from the Reports>>Custom Report menu. Alternatively, you can put the new report on its own menu item by editing the Shortcut Menu Setup accordingly.

Reports can be customized per workstation and user.



Visual Basic® .NET Front-end

Currently the front-end screens can only be customized by DTH Software. We can however, place custom shortcut menus to call applications written or provided by your organization.

DTH Software is not responsible for any custom code that we do not write. Any support/data correction required by DTH Software as a result of said code will be billed at a standard Development rate.

Any custom code written by DTH Software is only guaranteed for the version it is written for. Some custom code may need to be upgraded in order to be compatible with future releases of our product or with your own customizations. This is not always necessary but in the event that it is, it will be billed at a standard Development rate.
