Extensions
Extensions are custom components that extend the capabilities of IBM® SPSS® Modeler. Extensions are packaged in extension bundles (.mpe files) and are installed to IBM SPSS Modeler. Extensions can be created by any user and shared with other users by sharing the associated extension bundle.

- You can use the Custom Dialog Builder for Extensions to create an extension that includes a user interface, which is referred to as a custom node dialog.

You design the generated script as part of designing the custom dialog.
