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.
