Apps Overview

Introduction

The Apps page in Control Center provides a central place to monitor, manage, and interact with all the apps belonging to your company.

Use the search bar at the top of the page to find an app using either its name or app ID (which you can find under Project ID in your app’s Settings in Apps).

Search results appear in a pop-up window where you can apply filters for AppName, AppID, Technical Contact, Last Commit, Created Date, and Deployment. Click the app name to open the app details.

The Apps page includes the following tabs: Mendix Cloud, Private Cloud, Mendix Free Cloud, Other Apps, and Deactivated Apps.

Each tab contains a table. By clicking the column selector ( ) in the upper-right corner of the table, you can choose which fields to display. You can also:

• Filter the apps in a table. For details, refer to the Filtering Apps in a Table section
• Export app information to an Excel file. For details, refer to the Exporting Apps to an Excel File section

Refer to the Fields Glossary section for descriptions of the table columns.
