- My Marketplace
Presents a reference for using the My Marketplace features of the Mendix Marketplace.
Mendix delivers a robust platform for the rapid development of apps. To make your development move even more quickly, you can use content from the Marketplace. In addition to downloading content from the Marketplace, you can upload components you have developed to share and help the whole Mendix community.
The Mendix Marketplace is a vibrant marketplace containing complete sample apps that can be used right away as well as various components (connectors, modules, widgets, and more) that can be used to build your apps more quickly. In the Mendix Marketplace, you can browse all the content, get what you need, and share the content you have created.
This document describes the different sections of the Mendix Marketplace. More information in this category can be found in My Marketplace and Using Marketplace Content.
The Marketplace home page is your entry point to the various parts of the Mendix Marketplace. Here you can perform actions such as the following:
The Marketplace offers the following Content Types:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Module | Software functionality that can include a data model, logic, and UI with a portable security model. |
Widget | Single user-interface elements like containers, drop-down menus, and buttons. Select a widget, configure it, and add it to pages and snippets in your app. |
Service | Software functionality that can be re-used for different use cases. Services usually include APIs that you can interact with by configuring a connection in the app’s module. |
Solution | Out-of-the-box solutions that are aimed at industry and domain problems, delivering instant value. These solutions are usually at least 80% ready for use and need minimal adaptation to make them work for a customer-specific use case. |
Sample | A project that provides an overview of the capabilities a product can perform. The project can act as an example, sales play, demo, or template. |
Starter Template | Sample projects that have certain capabilities in place to provide a basis for you to start developing your own app. You do not need to create an app from a blank template, as you can use a template that already has some features configured. In addition, a template can have a personalized style that can be shared and used to enrich other apps with a specific design. |
Industry Template | Accelerators for implementing industry-specific processes. Industry templates increase speed-to-value and time-to-market, and they are great starting points for common use cases within the relevant industry. Contrary to solutions, industry templates are starter templates intended to provide inspiration for utilizing Mendix to create apps for industry-specific processes. They usually cover around 20% of the process. |

Support for Marketplace content is determined by the content support category and the service level agreement (SLA) the user possesses. We distinguish the following content support categories:
Category | Description |
---|---|
Platform | Mendix supports all the content in this category as-is when you are equipped with an SLA (Platform, Standard, or Premium) with Mendix. Content in this category is proactively incorporated into Mendix R&D test cycles as part of our platform release management. Please note that this category replaces the former Extended category, which has been deprecated. |
Deprecated | The content in this category is considered end-of-life and will be dropped to the Community support status in the next major release of Mendix. Content is provided as-is by Mendix R&D, and support depends on the severity of the reported issue and the effort required to resolve it. |
Community | Content is provided as-is by members of the Mendix community, and support depends on the availability and effort of the owner. |
Partner | The content in this category is provided and supported by a partner. The partner supports this content as-is when you are equipped with an SLA with the partner. For more information, see Mendix Component Partner Program. |
Siemens | The content in this category is provided and supported by the Siemens team. Siemens supports this content as-is when you are equipped with an SLA with Siemens. |
We are always curious about and grateful for your feedback. The way you communicate your feedback to us depends on the support category of the content.
The applicable level of service for Mendix-supported Marketplace content is equal to the Mendix SLA you have acquired. In other words, the same SLA conditions apply to support on Marketplace content. This means that equal response and resolve times are applicable, and the standard support process using the Mendix Support Portal has to be followed.
Mendix moves platform-supported content into this category when the content is considered end-of-life. These decisions factor in popularity, the availability of improved alternatives, and industry standards.
Support for content in this category is limited and is decided by Mendix on a case-by-case basis. You can still follow the standard support process using the Mendix Support Portal. However, the Mendix SLA no longer applies.
Support on content in this category is up to the user or organization providing the content. Mendix recommends contacting the owner of the content in case of questions or issues via the following methods:
The level of support depends on the availability and effort of the developer and/or the Mendix community.
Partner-supported content is created and maintained by partners as part of the Mendix Component Partner program. Partners in the program commit to providing support to paying customers under an SLA (meaning, under terms specified by the partner). Customers can rely on this SLA for support from the partner if something goes wrong. A partner-supported Marketplace component details page contains a reference to the partner’s support portal or the partner’s support contact email.
