SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of maintaining a clean, navigable Mendix project structure by moving away from type-based grouping toward functional, feature-centric organization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Functional Grouping: Organize pages, microflows, and snippets by feature (e.g., Customer, Order) rather than by document type.
  • Automated Restructuring: Safely move documents between folders and modules using MDL commands while managing cross-module reference impacts.
  • Use Case: When a project grows, use this skill to consolidate all artifacts related to a specific feature into a single folder, making the project easier to maintain and navigate for the entire team.

Quick Start

Use the organize-project skill to move all pages and microflows related to the Customer feature into a new folder named Customer within the CRM module.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize Mendix project artifacts by feature instead of document type?▼

To organize Mendix project artifacts by feature, you can restructure modules by moving pages, microflows, and snippets into functional folder hierarchies. This approach groups feature-related documents together to improve project navigability and maintainability.

What is functional grouping in Mendix folder management?▼

Functional grouping in Mendix folder management is the practice of organizing project documents by business feature, such as Customer or Order, rather than by document type. This creates a cleaner project structure that makes navigation easier for the entire team.

How do I safely move documents between Mendix modules using MDL?▼

To safely move documents between Mendix modules using MDL, you must perform an impact analysis before cross-module operations. This ensures that cross-module reference impacts are managed correctly during the automated restructuring process.

Can I consolidate all Mendix artifacts for a specific feature into one folder?▼

Yes, you can consolidate all related Mendix artifacts into a single folder. By using MDL commands for folder creation and document movement, you can group all pages and microflows for a specific feature within a target module.

What are the limitations of restructuring Mendix project folders?▼

The primary limitation of restructuring Mendix project folders is the risk of breaking cross-module references. You must perform impact analysis before relocating documents across modules and strictly adhere to MDL syntax to prevent errors.

Do I need MDL syntax to manage Mendix folder structures?▼

Yes, MDL syntax is required for folder creation, document movement, and impact analysis during cross-module operations. Adhering to MDL syntax ensures that automated restructuring safely manages cross-module reference impacts.
