ExtensionPackages

An ExtensionPackage represents a packaged extension as authored by an extension developer. An extension package defines additional capabilities that can be made available to Launch users. Most commonly these capabilities come in the form of RuleComponents (events, conditions, and actions) and DataElements, but can also include main modules and shared modules.

ExtensionPackages are displayed in the Launch catalog for users to install. Adding an ExtensionPackage to a property is accomplished by creating an Extension with a link to the ExtensionPackage.

An extension package belongs to the Company of the developer who created it.
