    titleWhy did PhixFlow only select the first and last line?

    To use Shift-click to multi-select, make sure you click within the line.
    If you click the check box at the start of the line, PhixFlow assumes you want to select specific lines individually, so shift-click does not multi-select.


  5. Drag the selected attributes into dashboard properties → Attributes section.
  6. PhixFlow loads all the data records into the dashboard.
  7. Close the list of attributes.



You have now created a screen to display data records to the user. Now move to step 4, add features for managing data. These features mean that someone using your application will be able to add, change or delete data.
