Manage Plugins

To manage plugins, you need to have downloaded the LUA programming language, available at https://www.lua.org/. Editing of the LUA code must be done only by a qualified developer with knowledge of the programming language. Click on   in the MBG interface for documentation for a LUA developer.

The Manage Plugin page contains two sections:

 

Sample Plugins

The sample plugins are samples to help a LUA developer get started. There are a few default sample plugins to get you started. These plugins may not be used directly in a pipeline, it must be downloaded, modified, and uploaded back as an installed plugin to be used.

Download Sample Plugin

To download a sample plugin, click against the plugin you want to download. After you have downloaded a plugin, you will need to upload the plugin to be able to add it to a pipeline. See Upload_Plugin below.

  1. Click under the Install Plugins table in the Manage Plugin page.

    The uploaded plugin is now available in the Installed plugin table.
