Prefix Option When Generating Overview Pages

1

Hi Mendix Community,

 

I’ve been working with auto-generated overview pages for entities in Mendix, and I’ve noticed a recurring challenge when it comes to managing access, especially for admin roles.

 

Currently, after generating overview pages, have to manually search for each page to assign the appropriate access rights. This process becomes tedious and error-prone, particularly in larger applications with many entities.

 

Wouldn’t it be more efficient if Mendix allowed us to specify a prefix (e.g., Admin_, Overview_, etc.) when generating overview pages? This way:

Example Use Case: When generating overview pages for entities like Customer, Order, and Product, I could use a prefix like Admin_, resulting in pages named Admin_CustomerOverview, Admin_OrderOverview, etc. Then, I could quickly filter and assign access to all Admin_ pages for the admin role.

 

Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Has anyone else faced similar challenges? 

Thanks!

This would be a matter of taste. Someone could just put the pages with same rights in the same folder. Some other developers would name it [ObjectName]_[Operation]_[Role]. What you are asking for is essentially a bulk role assignment.
