Introduction

The back office of Intershop Order Management (IOM) uses feature toggles to enable or disable features. This document describes the basic concept of feature toggles in the back office.

It is aimed at project developers.

Feature Toggles

Feature toggles are used to enable or disable a particular feature in the back office.
By default, new features are disabled.
Toggles can be configured in the database table omt."FeatureToggleDTO". Please see Reference - IOM Database Documentation for more details.
When loaded once, the configuration of all active toggles is cached after the application startup.

The following features can be managed by the toggles:

Feature	Description	Since Version
Order Change Requests Tab	A tab on the order details page will be displayed that lists all change requests for the order.	4.2.0
Order Progress Bar	A visualization of the order state on the order details page	2.16.0.0

Note

There are several features that are still managed with other database tables and not with the feature toggle yet.
