What the file says

# Overview Pages - CRUD Page Pattern

## Overview

Standard pattern for creating CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) pages in Mendix using MDL syntax. This pattern consists of:

1. **Navigation Snippet** - Reusable menu for consistent navigation
2. **Overview Page** - Lists all objects with a DataGrid and navigation snippet
3. **NewEdit Page** - Form for creating/editing a single object

## Pattern Summary

| Component | Type | Purpose | Key Widgets |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `Entity_Menu` | Snippet | Vertical sidebar navigation | NAVIGATIONLIST with ITEM actions |
| `Entity_Overview` | Page | List all records | SNIPPETCALL (sidebar), DATAGRID, Heading |
| `Entity_NewEdit` | Page | Create/Edit form | DataView, Input widgets, Save/Cancel |

## Navigation Menu Snippet

Create a reusable navigation snippet using NAVIGATIONLIST for vertical sidebar menus:

```sql
create snippet Module.Entity_Menu
{
  navigationlist navMenu {
    item itemCustomers (caption: 'Customers', action: show_page Module.Customer_Overview)
    item itemOrders (caption: 'Orders', action: show_page Module.Order_Overview)
…
