1 Introduction

A Mendix app consists of app-level documents and a number of modules. Each module can contain many documents. At the app level, there are some settings and documents that apply to your app as a whole. For example, navigation is an app-level document, and the menu bar is app-wide and can refer to functionality in all modules. However, most documents live at the level of a module.

2 Settings

Clicking Settings opens a dialog box with settings for the end-user languages, the app directory, and the database and server.

For more information, see App Settings.

3 Security

At the app level, you can change the Security level, manage user roles, and manage administrator and anonymous user access.

For more information, see App Security.

4 Navigation

In Navigation, you can configure the menu bar and navigation tree for your app. You can also specify what the Home page is (meaning, the page you see right after signing in).

For more information, see Navigation.

5 System Texts

System texts are texts like information and error messages that are produced by the server or the client. You can translate these texts so that they appear in the preferred language of the user.

For more information, see System Texts.

6 Export Documentation

Right-clicking the App allows you to export documentation. This exports an HTML file with all the documents in your app and their documentation.
