What type of elements can be reused in a Consumer Module?

In the context of a Consumer Module in OutSystems, only Public elements can be reused. Public elements are designed specifically for sharing between modules and applications, allowing for a well-defined and secure method of integration. This design choice restricts the visibility of private elements and promotes better design practices by ensuring that only elements meant for external use are accessible.

Private elements are restricted to the module they are defined in and cannot be reused or accessed by other modules. Similarly, while elements from other applications can be leveraged, the distinction lies in the fact that they need to be publicly exposed to be included in a Consumer Module.

This reinforces the concept of modularity in OutSystems, ensuring that the architecture remains clean and that external access is managed through explicit public interfaces, promoting encapsulation and reusability effectively.
