About the Plug Ins Form
An organization can configure an entity to use a specially designed form or functionality. To implement this specialized behavior, a developer creates a .NET assembly that defines the entity's extended functionality. These assemblies are then stored in the Object Repository and are added to the entity on the Plug-Ins tab using the Plug Ins record.
Plug Ins records may only be created from the Plug-Ins tab of an Entities record.
