## 1.4. EKM Customization

EKM provides a flexible framework that enables a high degree of customization. It utilizes configuration files you either create or modify to significantly enhance the standard features of the product. These files can be modified either directly in XML or through a graphical user interface. Most of the configuration changes can be made on a live system without requiring a shutdown or restart of the server.

Possible customizations include:

- Configuring the EKM server

- Defining processes

- Defining new custom types

- Extending existing file formats

- Defining external applications for extracting metadata, images, and simulation details for custom CAE simulation files formats

- Integrating external applications that can be utilized by batch tasks in a process

A plug-in mechanism provides a powerful method for extending the capabilities of the base EKM system. Plug-ins can specify business rules, actions, and new user interfaces without altering the base system.
