Overview
Models are the graphical representation of the analysis that will be carried out by the PhixFlow Analysis Engine. Analysis Models define how data is collected, transformed, exported and viewed. Analysis Models are created by opening a new modelling screen and adding processing steps. These steps define data collection from databases or files, analysis of that data and export of the data.
The Analysis Engine is the main back-end process in PhixFlow that performs all stream calculations, data collections and builds charts and dashboards. The Analysis Engine starts whenever the generation of a stream is requested. This can be triggered in three ways:
- An ad-hoc request from the stream navigator, by right-clicking on the stream generator and selecting Run Analysis.
- An ad-hoc request from a model, by clicking the
