All Page-Elements in Page Explorer searchable by their name

1

As A UI Designer I want to find Elements in the Page Explorer by their name

 

 Almost all Page Elements (except auto placeholders for Filters/placeholder/columns etc) have a name property  (Property tab, Column/Name)  

The hierarchy view in Page Explorer shows the name for most of them. 

Elements like the Gallery have a name property, but are displayed like [Entity, over association XZY] in the Page Explorer  

 

When the actual name of such element is entered in the searchbar for the Page Explorer these elements are not  found.  

 

Either add the actual names to the elements in the Page Explorer View (they should then show up when searched for). 

Or keep the displayed value as is, but filter the Tree by the elements name.  

 

I suggest the to keep the tree-view display value as-is and extend the search.  

 

Example from Mendix 11.1.0 blank app:

 

Mendix 11.1.0 blank app Home_Web Page in Page Explorer View. The Home text field is selectedThe Text-element is displayed as 'Home', its name is 'text1'

 

When text1 is entered in the search bar nothing is shown:

text1 is entered in the search bar, the text element with name 'text1' is not found
