Customizing the Software

Special attention was paid to making this software modular and adaptable to different needs.

In each archaeological project, some aspects of recording data are fixed (e.g., the registration system) and some are expected to change during the excavation (e.g., new rare pottery type discovered). Rather than designing a universal system that will accomodate all possible scenearios, we chose to implement a simple system that may provide a base that can be expanded as needed.

In the following sections we will discuss:

• How to add/delete/modify options of specific groups
• How to add a module
• How to clone the complete project and customize it to a particular archaeological project
