VTAP Scripts - Allows you to add custom buttons, widgets, etc.
Components - allows you to add custom components.
VTAP Styles - help change the appearance of the user interface.
Page - allows you to add your own pages.
In this blog we will discuss how to add VTAP scripts to the module builder.
Adding VTAP Scripts
VTAP scripts are entry points for custom logic. You start by naming the script and selecting the module for which the script should run. It is important to select a module because you will often have module-specific needs, such as listening for a contact button click or saving a record.
You can either create your own extension module or use existing modules to add the script.
Note: Create an extension module if you want the module to be released through the Vtiger marketplace.
