You can return the instance name using _system.instance in an expression. This can be useful when creating emails from a task plan or from a file exporter. |
Default Export Excel Version | Anchor |
---|
defaultExportExcelVersion | defaultExportExcelVersion | The default version of Excel to be used when exporting data from PhixFlow to Excel. This is only used if a non-valid excel extension, such as "csv", is used in the file name extension specified in the exporter. Otherwise PhixFlow will determine the correct format from the extension specified in the file name. See file exporters for details.System Locale | Select the default locale to use for the PhixFlow system.
You can set a different locale for users.
Excerpt |
---|
Note |
---|
The list of locales available in PhixFlow is a standard list. The presence of a specific locale does not indicate that translations are available for the locale. The locale sets the default date style. It can also change the language of an application if it has a translation table; see Translating an Application Interface. |
Default Component Palette | Select a default layout component palette. |

Possible values are:- "T" - By default, all users will be allowed access to the stream data.
- "F" - By default, no users will be allowed access to the stream data unless they are a member of a user group which is explicitly added to the stream.
Note that this is just a default behaviour as any user with the permission to add user groups to a stream may change the data access rights for a stream. |
Allow anonymous export by default | Specifies the default access permission on exporting data from a Datasource. Possible values are:- "T" - By default, all users will be allowed access to export functionality.

Help Url | The base URL for PhixFlow help. This is preset for each PhixFlow release, and should not be changed without consulting PhixFlow support. |
Online Support Url | The URL to open when the user requests online support through PhixFlow. Under normal circumstances you should not need to update this setting. If you have problem with PhixFlow help, please contact the PhixFlow support team (see the welcome page for contact details). After changing this field you will need to restart the browser or reload the application (User → Reload Application) to start using the new help location. |
System Email Address | Specify the email address from which system-generated mails will be sent, such as password reset requests. For example, create an email account for notifications@company.com and use it as the System Email Address.
Note |
---|
It is important to set a system email address as the registered owner of the email account. This is because some email services reject emails that are not from the registered owner of the email account. If you do not set a System Email Address, PhixFlow sends the email as if it is from the person making the request. For example, if Georgia Smith requests a password reset, the email will be “from” georgia.smith@company.com. This email may not be delivered by some email services. |
Feedback Email Address | Specify an email address to receive any feedback emails. These are sent from the Administration → Support Menu → Email Support option. We recommend that this email address is your onsite system administration email. Issues that cannot be resolved internally should then be forwarded to support@phixflow.com. |
Error Reporting Email Address | Specify an email address to receive emails sent when a user clicks the Report button on a system error message. We recommend that this is set to an onsite system administration. Issues that cannot be resolved internally should then be forwarded to support@phixflow.com. |
Restrict non admin logins only | Restrict access to PhixFlow to only users who are part of the administrators group. This can be set if a system is being put into a maintenance state, and normal access needs to be revoked to everyone other than administration users Insert excerpt |

For example, when you want to aggregate large amounts of unsorted data, which is then be written to a stored stream.Database View Role | Only set this option if you have database users who want to generate reports directly from the PhixFlow database. Note |
---|
This option refers to a role in the PhixFlow database not in the PhixFlow application. |
