Note that there are several places in PhixFlow where operations can be carried out on multiple selected items, for example object deletion or updating the status on Alarms.
Drag and Drop
The user can drag and drop the majority of object items within PhixFlow. The outcome of each drag/drop operation is dependent upon the context and is explained on help for each form however here are a few general tips:
- Objects can only be dragged/dropped between compatible forms i.e. only if it makes sense for the object to be dropped onto the target location.
- Many forms support drag/drop for multiple selected items.
- Items can be reordered by dragging and dropping on ordered lists i.e. lists where the order of the items is important e.g. the list of Stream Attributes for a Stream. Note that the list should be ordered in the (default) ordered state.
- On Analysis Model panes and Workflow Model panes, single or multiple objects can be dragged off the modelling pane and onto another object by selecting the objects you want to drag and then holding down the Shift key and dragging the item(s). If the Shift key is not held down, the selected objects are just moved on the modelling pane.
- Stream Views and Alarm Generators can can be dragged onto Dashboards to create your own layout.

All objects have context menus associated with them which are accessed by right-clicking the mouse button. One key context menu item is which is always the last item on the list (to help ensure it is not pressed accidentally)! Any menu items below this entry should be ignored as they are nothing to do with the PhixFlow application but have been placed there automatically by the Flash container application.
Note that all objects that appear on Analysis Models have a context menu entry "Show Models" which will display a list of all the models that contain that object.

There are two types of grid display. The first are simply lists of the configuration objects but showing more details than the Slider Panesrepository explorer. The second type of grid shows data e.g. Stream Items, Alarms and Workflow Tasks. 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.
