If there is insufficient space on the header bar then some buttons are moved into this drop-down menu. The following options are always on the drop-down menu:
...
...
...
- permanent as there is no "undo" option
- everywhere, so if the object is used by other models, it is also deleted there.

Settings Section Toolbars
Each settings tab can contain a number of sections. Each section has a header represented by a green bar with a small arrow before the section label which can be clicked to collapse and open the section.
Some sections contain fields whereas other sections can contain grids. Sections which contain grids may have a number of icons on them to allow you to add and delete records, see a more detailed grid with more columns or refresh the current grid.
...
...
Open up a grid showing more details about each item.
...
...
Delete the selected item or items.
...
...
Refresh the list (e.g. if the list has been updated on another computer by another user).
...
...
Create and insert a new item into the list.

The Windows bar appears in the bottom of the screen if 'Show Windows Bar' is selected from the footer bar. The Windows bar contains links to all open windows (both open and minimised). Click on a link to restore the window (if needed) and bring the window to the front of the screen. Each window link also has a context menu which allows you to close it directly.

The task bar is at the bottom of the PhixFlow window. On the left the number of currently running actions is shown. There is also the button to show/hide the windows bar. If there are any notifications on screen, they can all be dismissed in one go by clicking 'Dismiss notifications'. This will dismiss the green notification pop ups but not red error/failure messages.

...
...
...
...
Open the help page for the form.

Note that the Audit trail is a useful way of reversing changes made by mistake as each audit entry shows both the new and old values. In the case of text fields, simply copy the old value and paste it into the form field.
Object Lists
Many forms include lists of objects that are associated with the object edited by that form. E.g. the list of stream attributes belonging to a stream.
Object lists have the following buttons:
...
...
Refresh the object list.
...
...
Add a child object to the object being edited. E.g. add a stream attribute to a stream.
