Software customization
eEvolution can be adapted to individual requirements by the user or the partner using customizing and scripting .
When customizing , settings are made on the standard product in order to map the company structure and company processes on the software side. The adjustments can be made with the iCustomizer developed by eEvolution GmbH & Co KG, which adjusts the application individually at runtime. The iCustomizer uses the technologies available in .NET such as reflection to be able to access the properties of the program objects at runtime.
With scripting , event-related individual program code can be executed. Parts of the free, integrated development environment SharpDevelop are installed here as the programming environment .
