Question

One Object used across many projects. How to do it?

0

hi there, I am new to Mendix, but its looking very exciting. I just set up four different applications to do four different things but I realised that they have common objects like Person for example which is all the basic information. Is there any way to have just one Person object and then for each project's object to be able to access it. Thanks. Douglas J Shaw South Africa

What you could do is create one application that contains the information about your relations, a crm system, while the other systems only store basic info of these persons. If you would like to get more info then from that person you would need to retrieve this information using a webservice. If you can only change the person details in that one app you could even use non persistant entities so that the information of the person is never stored. With exception of maby his name and some sort of id.
