Adding extra properties to AbpTenant in Abp Framework

Question

I want to add some properties to tenant (customer for us) like taxno, email, phone. Should I add new columns to AbpTenant table (and should I create AbpTenant App Service for manage) or should I create a new table (for ex.: named as customer) which refers to abpTenant via tenant_id.

I could not understand why/when should I use extraproperties column (which is contained by many table).

Answer 1

You can follow this documentation to extend prebuild modules/entites.

But, you must wait for 3.1 release because ABP team applied the module extension system to some free modules (identity, tenant-management etc.) just few weeks before (in 3.1 version development cycle).

After 3.1 release, you can add new properties easily to Tenant entity. You will declare your entity extension property and it will appear in UI also.

Here is a spoiler image for you. :) This image is for users but Tenant entity has also same feature.
