Regular package

Creatio includes the following types of regular packages:

• Preinstalled packages. Read more >>>
• User-made packages. Read more >>>

Preinstalled packages

Preinstalled packages are available in the workspace by default. They cannot be modified. Creatio marks preinstalled packages in the Configuration section using .

Creatio includes the following types of preinstalled packages:

• Base packages. For example, CrtBase, CrtNUI.
• Third-party packages. These packages are installed from *.zip archives using Creatio IDE or the WorkspaceConsole utility.

View base packages in the table below.

Package name	Description
CrtBase, Base	Base schemas of the primary objects and Creatio sections, as well as connected objects, pages, process schemas, etc.
Platform, CrtPlatform7x	Modules and pages of the List Designer, Dashboard Designer, etc.
Managers, CrtManagers7x	Client modules of the schema managers.
CrtNUI, NUI	Functionality connected to the Creatio UI.
CrtUIv2, UIv2
CrtDesignerTools, DesignerTools	Schemas of Designers and their elements.
CrtProcessDesigner, ProcessDesigner	Process Designer schemas.

Users create various schemas that must be saved to a user-made package. A fresh Creatio installation has no packages open for modification except for the Custom preinstalled package. You can add schemas to this package manually using the Configuration section and the Advanced settings tab in Application Designer.

Custom package is a regular package and has the following specific features:

• The Custom package depends only on the CrtCore package instead of depending on all packages. In existing environments upgraded from earlier versions, the Custom package dependencies remain unchanged to ensure backward compatibility.
• When you create or install a package, the Custom package no longer becomes dependent on it automatically.
• The Custom package can be added to the version control system.
• The Custom package can be exported to the file system using the WorkspaceConsole utility.
• User-made packages can depend on the Custom package. You can add this dependency manually or it can be added automatically when Creatio adds the required dependencies.

User-made packages

Use a user-made package to develop additional functionality or extend existing functionality.

Creatio includes the following types of user-made packages:

• User-made packages created by other Creatio users. User-made packages are locked in the version control system. They cannot be modified. Creatio marks user-made packages in the Configuration section using .
• User-made packages created by the current user or retrieved from the version control system. They can be modified. Creatio marks user-made packages in the Configuration section using .

Before you start development, change the current package. To do this:

1. Open the System settings section. To do this, click in the top right → System setup → System settings.

2. Open the "Current package" (CurrentPackageId code) system setting.

3. Change the properties of the system setting.

   Property	Property description
   Default value	The name of a user-made package

   To prevent system issues it is not possible to deactivate or delete a package if it, or any of its dependencies, is set as the value of the Current package (CurrentPackageId code) system setting. If you try to deactivate or delete such a package, Creatio displays a detailed error message.

4. Save the changes.

As a result, Creatio will add all schemas to the specified user-made package.
