This release is the first to feature the new graphical user interface that we have been working on for the past year. The new GUI is built using the React JavaScript library which underpins Facebook's own web and mobile presence. The new GUI is modern, faster, more secure and enables us to deliver PhixFlow applications to both PC and mobile devices. In this release the new GUI supports all end-user "application" features e.g. applications, dashboards, menus, actions etc. At version 7.0, model design is carried out in the flash-based GUI, however, by the end of 2016, all design features will have been re-wrtten written in ReactJS and the old flash-based interface will be retired.

New GUI Features

Data grids 

Users can quickly filter data by clicking on column headers.The new GUI 

Users can sort data by clicking on column headers. Sorting operates on all filtered records, not just the records in the paged view

The user can choose to fix the position of several columns on the left of a data grid. This keeps the columns visible when the the data grid is scrolled horizontally e.g. if there are many columns

Columns will now automatically "flex" to make use of the avaialble width of the display if their width is set to null (i.e. no value).

Changes made to the column widths by dragging the column edges are saved when in desgin mode.
