In case you need a feature that is not available in Flexmonster, you can request a customization project from our development team.
Requirements, timeframe, and cost estimations are discussed separately for each project. If the requested feature is of our interest too, the development cost of customization would be split equally between your company and Flexmonster. In this case, the feature will be added to the general build of Flexmonster Pivot Table.
Please note that Premium Support is always a prerequisite of any customization project.
In some cases, the requested feature may be on our development roadmap already, for example, estimated to arrive in the next major release. In this case, no special customization project is needed. Feel free to check that with us first before requesting customization.
Flexmonster Software License Agreement is always available for your reference. It states terms and conditions governing the use of Flexmonster.
