When you drag an unpinned component onto a formto a different place on the screen, it will be automatically assigned to the parent you drop it into (for example, an area), and it will be dropped in the position that you drop it. So if you drop it in the middle of a set of fields inside an area, the fields underneath will be shuffled down to make space for it.

When you drag objects onto a form items from the repository , they will be created onto a screen, PhixFlow creates a component using the default template for that objectitem. So it is important to make sure that you have set the right default component palette. This is set in System Configuration. Remember that this default will apply to all users of this PhixFlow instance. |
