Plugins

WILCO works with the plug-ins (or plugin, add-in, addin, add-on, or addon), that is a software component that adds a specific features that enables customisation. On WILCO, plugins contains:

• layouts

• fault codes

• parameters

• dashboards

• trend bundles

• event table bundles

• bookmarks

• constants

• docs

• ifts

• elastic (big data)

Since plugins contains all the mentioned above components, it is important to correlate each component to its plugin!

The plugins could be related to aircraft type, ATA chapter or any other R&D. Some of the plugins are already described in the chapter: PLUGINS.

In order to get to the plugins, click on Plugins from the General Conf:

As an ADMIN you can create a plugin; edit it or even delete. You can associate plugin to an airline, or remove it.

Add plugin

In order to add plugin, click on the button Add Plugin, situated on the top right side of the display.

Fill in the data of the Add Plugin - new plugin form. The example of the fw.demo plugin is displayed above:

On the below example, on the plugin fw.demo, in order for airline AAA to be able to visualize the elements that the plugin fw.demo contains, we need to add that airline to the plugin. Just click on the airline (AAA) to highlight it and click on Save button to save the changes.

Delete plugin

Although deleting plugin is possible, be completely sure that you want to do that.

In order to proceed with the deletion, make sure no airline uses it, that it contains no needed information - and click on the Delete Plugin button situated on the top right side of the window.
