Creating a plugin

1. On the design page, select the devices you want to include in the plugin.
2. Expand the Plugins tree to show the folder where you would like to store the plugin.
3. Right-click the Plugins tree, and then click Define Plugin.

   The Define Plugin dialog box is displayed.

   

4. In the Plugin Name box, type a name for the new plugin.

   If you want to store the plugin in a subfolder below the top level Plugins folder in the device tree, use the following format for the plugin name:

   <subfolder name>/.../<plugin name>

5. Click OK.

   The plugin will be added to the device tree under the Plugins folder. If you have specified one or more subfolders as part of the name, the plugin will be located at the bottom of the subfolder tree.

   Note: Plugins you have created will be available in the device tree the next time you open a new instance of NWare. However, if you already have other instances of NWare open when you define a plugin, the new plugin will not be shown in those instances until you restart them.
