22.0 Customizing Objects

Moab Accounting Manager provides the ability to dynamically create new objects or customize or delete existing objects through the interactive control program (goldsh).

The object customizations described in this chapter will be noticeable in subsequent goldsh queries (and in the web GUI after a fresh login). For installations with a database that supports multiple connections (e.g. PostgreSQL) these changes will be visible immediately while others (e.g. SQLite) will require the server to be restarted. Client commands may need to be modified to properly interact with changed objects or attributes.

The goldsh control program allows you to make powerful and sweeping modifications to many objects with a single command. Inadvertent mistakes could result in modifications that are very difficult to reverse.
