Plugin Overview
Plugins are extension packages that add the features you need to SetFN SpaceBuilder. Just like installing an app on a smartphone, you can add only the features you need. Combining plugins such as Calendar, Email, and Workflow lets your workspace function as a company intranet and internal portal all in one.
Before You Begin
- Required permission: Administrator (plugin installation and activation are done on the admin page under
Plugins>Extension Plugins)
How to Install Plugins
- Check the SetFN plugin site for the plugin you want to use.
- Review the plugin's description, supported versions, required license, and system requirements.
- Download the plugin you need.
- Install the plugin from the admin page.
- Enable the plugin using the toggle switch on the
Extension Pluginsscreen. - Complete the plugin's initial setup, then start using it in SpaceBuilder.
You can check the status of installed plugins on the admin page. If a problem occurs, disable the plugin or check its version and reconfigure it.
Plugin Types
SetFN plugins can be divided by purpose into Basic Plugins, Extension Plugins, and Industry Plugins.
| Category | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Plugins | Features that are close to SetFN's general collaboration experience by default. Most teams can start using them right away. | Calendar |
| Extension Plugins | Add business functionality commonly used across many industries. Installed selectively based on organizational needs. | Email, Workflow, Fine-tuning |
| Industry Plugins | Include data structures, screens, rules, and audit trails tailored to a specific industry or specialized work. | Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system, and more being added |
Basic Plugins
Basic plugins are features that connect naturally with the general collaboration flow of a SetFN workspace.
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Calendar | View team schedules, personal schedules, and file activity in a calendar. |
Calendar is classified close to a basic collaboration feature because it is often used together with file activity or team schedules.
Extension Plugins
Extension plugins are business features that many organizations can use regardless of industry. They aren't specific to any one industry — like email, automation, or AI training — but installing them significantly expands what you can do with SetFN.
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Check email within SetFN, and keep mail and attachments archived as Workspace files. | |
| Workflow | Combine files, email, search, notifications, code execution, and more to build business automations. |
| Fine-tuning | Manage LLM training data preprocessing, training, evaluation, and export. |
Extension plugins are best thought of as features that boost general work productivity. They aren't tied to a specific industry and can be used repeatedly across many teams and organizations.
Industry Plugins
Industry plugins are designed around the workflows and regulations of a specific industry. Beyond simply adding features, they also provide the data structures, permissions, audit trails, and dedicated screens required in that field.
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| EDC | Collect clinical research data and manage entry history and audit trails. |
| Other Plugins | Plugins tailored to specific domains such as manufacturing, research, healthcare, law, and public sector are in development. |
For example, EDC is not just a simple data-entry form feature — it includes industry-specific requirements such as clinical research data entry, site management, and audit trails, which naturally puts it in the industry plugin category.
