How should resources be structured within App Explorer?

Structuring resources manually within App Explorer is the most effective approach for maintaining organization and clarity in a Mendix application. When developers manually categorize resources, they can create a logical hierarchy that reflects the application's architecture and design principles. This allows for easier navigation and management of resources such as entities, pages, microflows, and other components.

By taking the time to manually structure resources, developers can group related items together, making it simpler to locate and update components as necessary. This organization can significantly improve collaboration among team members, as a well-structured application makes it easier for everyone to understand the layout and design of the app.

Automatic structures may not account for specific project needs, while random arrangements can lead to confusion and inefficiency. Folder numbering does not inherently provide a meaningful way to organize content, as it does not convey any logical relationship between the items within the folders. Hence, a manual organization strategy enables a more intuitive and user-friendly development experience.
