This section contains advice on how to get started with the training course on customizing ADITO.

Prerequisites

This training course assumes the following setup:

  • PC/Notebook with
    • Processor Intel® Core™ i7 or comparable
    • min. 16 GB main memory
    • 64-Bit-Windows 10/11
  • Fast internet connection (down- and upload)
  • Installation of a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser (Firefox does not work!). Ideally, one of these browsers is set up as standard browser.
  • Access to the latest official version of an ADITO cloud system, containing the latest official version of an ADITO xRM project (including example data!).
  • Installation of the latest official version of the ADITO Designer (An installation of the ADITO Designer under Apple macOS or a Linux distribution is basically possible, due to the Java runtime environment (OpenJDK 13), however without support by ADITO. Therefore, we strongly recommend to use Windows for this training course, in order to avoid delays.)
  • The cloud system's ADITO xRM project opened in the browser.
  • The cloud system's ADITO xRM project loaded into the Designer.
  • A tunneled connection between the project in the Designer and the cloud system.
  • Activated logging for debug levels "SIMPLE", "TRACE", "DB", and "JDITO". Threshold for JDito and DB each set to 0 (zero). Telnet logging enabled (with default settings).
  • Access to the knowledge database of the
    • ADITO Neon Client (internal employees)
    • ADITO Service Client (external users)
  • Basic knowledge of
    • the functionality of the ADITO xRM project;
    • the general parts of this help website.
note

This document is designed like a schoolbook: On the basis of a plain example, you learn to handle ADITO step-by-step. It is not recommended to skip one of these chapters, as each chapter implies that you have read the previous ones.

Introduction

In this document, you will learn how to build ADITO applications on your own. The teaching approach is process-oriented, i.e., you will be introduced to handling the ADITO Designer step-by-step, following the usual development process.

The subject of this training course is to set up an ADITO application for operating a company's car pool, including functionality to handle

  • cars,
  • car drivers, and
  • car reservations.

We will set up connections ("dependencies") between

  • car reservations and cars,
  • car reservations and car drivers, and
  • car drivers and the example data of contact persons already included in the ADITO xRM project.

The teaching method will be "task and solution", i.e., on the basis of your knowledge of the general parts of this help website (which will be linked in most cases), you will be prompted to process specific tasks, each followed by a "best practice" solution. Always try to solve the task on your own first, before reading the solution.

Let's go!
