Overview

PhixFlow comes with two default palettes:

  • Basic Components: contains all basic layout components, such as String Field and CheckBox without any additional labels and styling.
  • Labeled Fields: contains a set of predefined form fields that have configurable labels. This is the palette to use when designing application forms.

Editing Palettes

You can create new palettes and edit existing ones.

Add items to a palette by dragging a layout template onto it.

Remove items from a palette by right-clicking on the item in the palette and selecting Permanently Delete. This does not remove the layout template from the repository, but just removes the layout from this palette.

If the container application for is not running, PhixFlow uses:

  • either the default palette set for the area.

If you do not set a default palette, PhixFlow uses the system default palette.
