| Preload |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Preload | Screens, especially complex screens, can take some time to open, which can feel slow to the application user. Use this option when you need a screen to open quickly. Preloading screens adds to the time it takes PhixFlow to initially start up. For this reason we recommend you only preload screens that an application user will always want to open.
Preloading relates to the screen itself. Any data backing the screen is only loaded when the screen opens, and this may also take time to load. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Dashboard Elements
This section lists the Dashboard Elements on this screen.
PhixFlow creates dashboard elements when you use the pop-up menu Add Area... options to divide up the screen. In PhixFlow version 8.3 and earlier, dashboard elements enabled different parts of the screen to be bound to different sources of data, either a stream (table) or view.
Where dashboard elements are bound to data, you can link them, so that the data in one dashboard element drives the data in another; see /wiki/spaces/HELP12/pages/9909895169.
