Questions on adding features

0
Hi all –  I am a student working on a project for one of my classes where we are designing a digital counseling app.   There are a couple features I am attempting to add but I cannot find documentation that will help me achieve these goals: Document Center: Ability to upload documents, view documents, set permissions on user visibility  Messaging Center: Ability to have direct conversations with other users, limit visibility to chats you are personally involved in   Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as how to add these functionalities?

Hi Bryce,

For documents, have a look at documentation on dealing with file uploads and downloads. https://docs.mendix.com/howto/data-models/working-with-images-and-files#4-file-documents

For both requirements you’re looking at security and roles. Look at Xpath constraints and access rules. https://docs.mendix.com/howto/logic-business-rules/define-access-rules-using-xpath

The Mendix Academy also has a good tutorial on Xpath and security that will probably help. https://gettingstarted.mendixcloud.com/link/path/62/Constrain-Your-Data-Using-XPath

Best of luck!
