Go to Option
Introduction
In Studio Pro editors, such as navigation, page, or microflow editor, you can access a handy menu by right-clicking items. A Go to option is commonly used to find your way in an app. It allows you to navigate from one element to another: for example, to navigate to the target of a button or to the source of a data grid.
The Go to Option
The examples of using the Go to option are described below:
-
Opening a target of a menu item – in App > Navigation, you can right-click a menu item and select Go to target. Studio Pro will open the corresponding target of the menu item,for example, a page.
-
Opening a data source of an element – on pages, you can navigate to the data source of a widget. For example, you can right-click a button in the data grid and select Go to microflow. Mendix Studio Pro will open the corresponding microflow:
-
Opening an entity from a microflow – you can navigate to an entity in the domain model if you right-click an activity in the microflow and select Go to entity. Mendix Studio Pro will open the corresponding domain model:
The Go to Dialog
The Go to dialog can be accessed by both the Edit menu or by using the Ctrl + G shortcut. The dialog allows quick navigation to any document or domain model element in the app by typing a few letters and pressing Enter.
The typed letters or term are cached, so if the dialog is closed and reopened, the input is not lost.
This dialog also supports a filter option. The filter selection is saved upon both closing and reopening the dialog, and over different user sessions. This means the filter selection is saved even if you close and reopen Studio Pro.
