Ways of extending Asta Powerproject's functionality

Asta Powerproject has been designed to be fully customisable and extensible, letting you tailor it precisely to your needs. You can:

Add your own fields to the database by creating user-defined fields and user-defined tables.
Write application extensions using Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) (not available in Asta Powerproject SaaS).
Write add-on client/server utilities using Visual Basic (VB) (not available in Asta Powerproject SaaS).
Write new client applications using the Asta Powerproject OCX (not available in Asta Powerproject SaaS).

From your macros and add-on Visual Basic utilities, you can call OLE functions within Asta Powerproject to have as much control over a project as you can directly from within Asta Powerproject.

You can link objects in projects, for example tasks and resources, to external documents, or to webpages on the internet or an intranet. For example, you could link individual tasks to documents stored on your network that give more information on the task to be carried out, or you could link permanent resources to documents containing their CVs. You do this by entering hyperlinks to external documents into 'URL'-type user-defined fields.
