AppControl supports Mendix app owners to control the quality, maintainability and daily operation of their apps. Before you can use AppControl to manage your apps, the AppControl platform administrator will need to assign you as an app owner for one or more apps. Afterwards, the following are useful features for your role:

  • Policy Dashboard. AppControl checks the state of all your apps to ensure that they are compliant with your organization standards (security, quality, maintainability, development standards). Use the policy dashboard to view the current state of your apps.

  • Releases. AppControl uses pipelines to enforce policies, and to ease the release process for DevOps teams. The releases dashboard gives you an overview of all releases for your apps, and can be used to approve releases that have been prepared by your development teams. Note: An app administrator needs to configure this feature before you can use it.

  • Tasks. Tasks enable you to keep track of manual activities that need to be performed per app (E.g. compliance activities, certificate renewals, etc.). If there are common tasks (or app-specific tasks) that must be performed regularly, you can use AppControl to keep track of who tasks are assigned to, whether or not they have been executed, and what the results are. Note: An app administrator needs to configure this feature before you can use it.

  • Insights. Insights gives you insight into the Mendix versions and Mendix Marketplace components used by all your Mendix apps. Use Insights to answer questions such as 'Which apps are still using Mendix 8?' or 'Which apps are using the SAML module version older than 3.0?'.
