  2.  To tell PhixFlow that you want to show this stream's data on the dashboard, drag the stream icon from the properties tab onto the dashboard.
  3. You can display data in different formats. For this example, select the table grid
    Insert excerpt
    _layout_grid
    _layout_grid

    titleWhy did PhixFlow only select the first and last line?

    To use Shift-click to multi-select, make sure you click within the line.
    If you click the checkbox at the start of the line, PhixFlow assumes you want to select specific lines individually, so shift-click does not multi-select.


  5. Drag the selected attributes into dashboard properties → Attributes section.
  6. PhixFlow loads all the data records into the dashboard.
  7. Close the list of attributes.



You have now created a screen to display data records to the user. Now move to step 4, add features for managing data. These features mean that someone using your application will be able to add, change or delete data.
