Welcome

Welcome to PhixFlow's Actionflow

Course

Courses, where you will

learn everything about creating and using Actionflows. This course is designed to give you

get a deeper understanding of what an Actionflow is, how they are used

in PhixFlow

and what you need to know to create and use them in your application(s).

In this course you will learn alongside walkthrough examples, from creating a simple Open Screen Actionflow, all the way through to creating complicated multi-phase Actionflows.

Note: Image Removed Actionflows are used in applications created in version 9.0 and beyond.

The courses provide both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises. 

Course Prerequisites

  • Completed the PhixFlow Fundamentals 
  • Completed one of the Screen Building Courses, or have prior knowledge of building screens

  • A PhixFlow training instance or download the specified data from the Learning Centre

Course Structure and Objectives

This course

is split into

consists of 3 modules (Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced)

. Each module takes

    Pre-Built Application

    The pre-built application, Actionflow Application, can be found on your training instance. It contains an ERD with data and a number of screens that are referenced throughout the course. 

    Before we dive into the course, let's first become familiar with the prebuilt ERD and screens we have provided for you. Do not delete any tables or screen components as this may cause the processes to fail.

    Open the Course Management ERD and spend a few minutes studying the one-to-many relationships between the tables, and Insert excerpt_view_show_icononly_view_show_icononlynopaneltrue view the data. 
    1. Each dataset has its own table with a primary key
    2. Note the special relationship between the Students and Courses tables, where the Course Attendees table facilitates a many-to-many relationship
    Open the Course Management Screen
  • The Courses table is backing the School Courses grid
    1. There are a number of buttons under the grid that we will configure as part of this course
  • The buttons on the left will become filter buttons that we will configure as part of this course
    1. Above the buttons is a string field, pfDept, that will be use for the filter buttons
    • There are two background filters that can be seen by clicking the School Courses grid, then clicking the  Insert excerpt_property_tabs_property_tabsnopaneltrue 
    1. These background filters are fundamental to the filter buttons and we will explore them later in the course
    Open the Course Form ScreenThis is the form that we will later configure to add and edit courses in the School Courses grid
