0

Hi Community. Could anyone provide me information / instructions how to configure in Mendix : an customer must be able to create himself initially as a new customer and see his own personal customer data, his order-history and an total product-list in an existing sales app. (I am new with Mendix) Thanks in advance, Jan van der Wind

That is not so much a matter of ‘configuring’ but more a matter of ‘building and creating’. You will have to set up the entities in the domain model: ‘Customer’, ‘Product’, ‘Order’, ‘Orderline’ with ‘Orderline’ having a *-1 association to ‘Orderline’, In the domainmodel, right-click ‘Customer’, and ‘Generate page’, (also select Product and Order, not Orderline) and you have your first pages. On page ‘Order_NewEdit’ add a Dataview and give it datasource ‘listen to widget’. In that DataView add a Datagrid for the Orderlines.

Now you have the basis. Still to create the routine to give the Anonymous user the option to create a Customer and switch to it. And the routine to retrieve his data from the existing sales app.
