Visibility of Snippets in a Mendix Solution

0
Hi Community!   We are developing a Mendix solution as a Mendix ISV Partner. In our solution, we have several snippets that shall be used in project implementations.   Now we have created a new project, based on our solution, and we want to show one of the snippets. However, that's not possible, as the snippet is not visible in the project implementation (creating a solution sets all to "invisible" as a default). We know that we can set microflows, nanoflows, entities and attributes to "Usable", so that these parts are visible in the project. But this setting is not available for pages and snippets.   So my question is: How would you make a snippet usable in such a project implementation?   Thanks, Holger

Snippets and Pages should be placed inside the Implementation module if they are to be used freely. See the academy material: https://academy.mendix.com/link/modules/533

Or my notes (from that Academy material) if you will https://stephanbruijnis.dev/docs/notes/mendix-academy/adaptable-solutions-learning-paths/#hidden-documents

 

So basically you can't access the snippets from a solution unless its in the implementation module

Try to grasp the issue, but I can't.

 

What is the source of "created a new project, based on our solution" 

> guess you created a new project based on a project package/starter app

 

What is your definition of invisible;

> cannot discovered in the app explorer?

> cannot be found using CTRL-g?

> can be found in app explorer, but not when placing a snippet widget on a page and searching for the snippet to connect?

 

Snippets and pages part of a module in a project package, should be visible

If the snippets are part of a marketplace module, CTRL-g doesn't include marketplace modules by default

 

The filter setting can be changed in the search window
