When you drag items from the repository onto a screen, PhixFlow creates a component using the default template for that item. 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. |

Order - Child items have an order in their parent. For example if there are 4 labelled fields, use the order number to specify the order in which they are listed. By default fields flow vertically, that is the order 1 field is at the top of the area, and 2 is below. If you set horizontal flow in the area Style Settings → Direction → No selection = column. change to row, they appear side by sdieside
