Suppose you’re a customer who wants to use customizations in TallyPrime, a TDL developer creating solutions with TDL, or a Tally Partner making custom solutions for clients. In that case, you must know how to set up TDLs or Add-Ons in TallyPrime. Before learning about deployment, it’s important to understand the different types of customized TallyPrime using TDL.
Types of Customizations in TallyPrime
There are four types of customizations you can use in TallyPrime:
Local TDL
These are TDL or TCP files saved on your computer, which you can use directly.
Account TDL
These TDL or TCP files are managed from the Control Centre and can be shared with one or more Tally Serial Numbers.
Remote TDL
These TDL or TCP files are stored on a server and can only be used remotely. You cannot access them directly.
Add-Ons
Add-ons are pre-made solutions created by Tally Partners. You can buy them from the TallyShop marketplace.
