Customizing TRACE

Customizing TRACE

One of the significant benefits of using TRACE is that users are not limited to what the default installation provides. Since organizations differ greatly in their scope, products, and missions, their approach to managing information and collaborating with team members also differs.

Where one organization might need a full-featured testing verification setup, another might just want to keep track of new opportunities and share that info across the web with their sales teams. This is where TRACE shines – use existing modules – as many or few as necessary – or create new modules to rise to any organizational requirement. Or maybe most of the features in a TRACE module work just fine, but your company users different nomenclature and all that is necessary is to change the field names. With TRACE, all of this is possible and easy to accomplish.

What’s more, once new form types are created in TRACE, they can be shared with other projects. Since all data is stored in forms with ID numbers, changing the interface to suit company needs does not impact the data – feel free to experiment until TRACE is perfect for the current project’s needs.
