Drag Microflows and Pages into a Microflow
1 Introduction
Coming home with sore hands from using the mouse too much during the day is uncomfortable. This how-to teaches you how to use the mouse more efficiently while modeling a Mendix app.
This how-to teaches you how to do the following:
- Generate a submicroflow from selected actions
- Drag a microflow or a page into a microflow
2 Prerequisites
None.
3 Generating a Submicroflow from Selected Actions
If possible, re-using logic is an important procedure while developing apps. The actions that form the reusable logic can be selected and turned into a submicroflow. This just takes two clicks, as shown in this animation:

4 Dragging a Page into a Microflow
Dragging an existing form from the Project Explorer reduces the amount of mouse clicks and mouse pointer hovering:

5 Dragging a Microflow into a Microflow
Instead of creating a new submicroflow action, it can be easier to drag an existing microflow into the current one.
