    PhixFlow is a flexible platform that can help you to manage your data. This Quick Start Guide introduces the process you can follow to build an application:

  • Set up a PhixFlow application

    To illustrate the process, you will create a simple analysis model and build an application to view and update its data. 

    PhixFlow has a lot of different options and settings. So that you can work through the process, some things are already set up for you:

    • the Excel spreadsheet which you can download from here
    • styles, set as system/application defaults, so that PhixFlow knows how to format data tables - which we call grids
    • a palette of application components that you can drag onto the layout.
    • styles that control the colours and appearance of the screen
