Documentation in Mendix Business Modeler

7

Is there a way to print out all the documentation that I've given to my widgets in the Business Modeler? In my case I want to get all the documentation of a meta model. That is very useful for communication and documentation purposes. Let me give an example document of a metamodel 'CRM' that contains a object "Invoice". Objects: Invoice Invoicenumber - "My documentation about invoice number" Description - "My documentation about description" e.t.c. Edit: If it's not supported in the Modeler, can JAVA to the job?

In what kind of structure would you like this print? It is now possible to document nearly everything in the modeler (from attributes to xml-mappings).

A simple dump of all this documentation wouldn't be helpfull for the communication purposes I think...

At the moment there is no easy way to collect all documentation from the metamodel. If you are fluent in SQL, you could perform a query on the Modeler database to extract this data. However, a more friendly way to generate a documentation overview would be a nice feature request.
