This page is for application designers who want different parts of the screen backed by different data views.

Overview

Tip

For new features related to binding data to parts of a screen, see Showing Data on a Screen.

To bind different parts of the screen with different data views, you can:

  • either add data-backed components, such as a form, card, chart, graph or grid
  • or create dashboard elements that act as the parent to other components, such as areas or fields.

To create dashboard elements:

  1. Right-click the screen to show the context menu
  2. Use the Add Area... options. PhixFlow automatically creates dividers on the dashboard.
  3. From the palette, drag in the components you require. PhixFlow automatically creates dashboard elements as a container for the components.

In the repository, the components you drag in are listed both:

  • as children of the Dashboard (dashboard elements)
  • as parents in the list of Components.

Data views that are bound to a dashboard have parameters like short names (aliases). You can use these parameters in expressions to refer to stream-items (records) or data points selected on those views. You can also refer to a data range and or filter to control the list of stream-items (records) shown by the view. Use the dashboard element properties to change those parameters from their default values, which are taken from the original view.
