SmartList To Go Plug-Ins

What's a Plug-In?

Along with basic field types of Text, Integer, Date, etc., SmartList To Go includes a special field type called Plug-In. This field type allows SmartLists to make use of capabilities beyond what is provided by SmartList To Go. These extended capabilities are provided by add-on applications called Plug-Ins.

What can a Plug-In do?

Plug-Ins can extend the features built into SmartList To Go in many ways. For example, Plug-Ins can:

Allow users to integrate SmartLists with other Palm applications. For example, the Date Book Plug-In that ships with SmartList To Go, allows users to look up to either the built-in Date Book application or to Beyond Contacts (the Outlook® synchronization product from DataViz.)
Provide SmartLists a way to make use of special hardware such as barcode scanners or cameras. A Plug-In could integrate with a camera on a Treo.
Make additional features available to SmartLists. For example, the Timer Plug-In that ships with SmartList To Go provides SmartLists with stopwatch features.
