Status Bar

TaskBar TaskBar

The status bar is at the bottom of the PhixFlow window. On the left the number of currently running actions is shown. There is also the button to show/hide the windows bar. If there are any notifications on screen, they can all be dismissed in one go by clicking 'Dismiss notifications'. This will dismiss the green notification pop ups but not red error/failure messages.

On the right are icons which can be used to access different features:

Image Added	Show the System Console. This shows currently running tasks and log messages from processes run in PhixFlow.
Image Added	Open Using the Repository Browser. This shows all of the available objects in your PhixFlow instance.
Image Added	Administration Menu. Options to Import Configuration, Export Full Configuration or Open Export Pane

The Windows bar appears in the bottom of the screen if 'Show Windows Bar' is selected from the footer bar. The Windows bar contains links to all open windows (both open and minimised). Click on a link to restore the window (if needed) and bring the window to the front of the screen. Each window link also has a context menu which allows you to close it directly.

On the bottom right of the PhixFlow screen is the 

Model Toolbar

When you open the settings for a model or one of its modelling objects, the settings tab has a toolbar at the top. 

Insert excerpt _finish _finish nopanel true	Save the current settings and close the tab.
Insert excerpt _save _save nopanel true	Save the current settings and keep the tab open.
Insert excerpt _back _back nopanel true	Toggle between the current settings tab and one that was previously open.
Insert excerpt _forward _forward nopanel true
Insert excerpt _repository _repository nopanel true	Find in Explorer.  This icon will bring the repository browser tab to the front and will close all nodes except those leading to this object.  You may need to scroll the explorer to see the selected object.
Insert excerpt _help _help nopanel true	Context sensitive help.
Insert excerpt _toolbar_squashed _toolbar_squashed nopanel true	If there is insufficient space on the header bar then some buttons are moved into this drop-down menu. The following options are always on the drop-down menu: Insert excerpt _delete _delete nopanel true  Delete the current object. Delete is: permanent as there is no "undo" option everywhere, so if the object is used by other models, it is also deleted there. Insert excerpt _delete _delete nopanel true  Close the current setting tab. You can also use the X on the tab itself.

Note that the Audit trail is a useful way of reversing changes made by mistake as each audit entry shows both the new and old values. In the case of text fields, simply copy the old value and paste it into the form field.

Settings Section Toolbars

...

Some sections contain fields whereas other sections can contain grids.  Sections which contain grids may have a number of icons on them to allow you to add and delete records, see a more detailed grid with more columns or refresh the current grid.

Grids

There are two types of grid display. The first are simply lists of the configuration objects but showing more details than the repository explorer. The second type of grid shows data e.g. Stream Items. The operations on configuration object grids are all very similar (e.g. add, delete, refresh etc.) however data grids will have additional operations which are all described on the help page for that object.
