| Keep Data | If ticked, the screen data is available and can be referenced even after the screen is closed. It can be used if the user wants to store global data available in the system. |
| Preload | If ticked, PhixFlow preloads the screen as it is setting up. Preloading adds to PhixFlow's setup time. When the user then opens the screen, it displays immediately. The data itself may still take time to load. Use this option for screens that the user will always want to open when they use PhixFlow. |
| Cache Locally | If ticked, PhixFlow does not preload the screen. Instead, when the user opens the screen for the first time, PhixFlow caches it on the client computer. When the user closes and reopens the screen, it loads immediately. The data itself may still loads from the server. Use this option for screens that a user may want to open. |
