Associating Packages to an Application

New Applications using Template Packages

When creating a new application, PhixFlow will prompt you for which Template Package you wish to add to your application. PhixFlow then automatically configures your application to use this Template Package.. 

Existing Application (and Adding Additional Packages)

When you have an existing application, to add a package to the application:

1. Open the Application's 

   Insert excerpt
   _property_settings _property_settings nopanel true

   1. This can be achieved by right-clicking on the application in the repository and selecting 

      Insert excerpt
      _edit _edit nopanel true

2. On the 

   Insert excerpt
   _property_tabs _property_tabs nopanel true

   , scroll down to the Packages section 
3. Click Image Added Packages to list all the packages in the repository.
4. Drag packages into this list.
5. The package is now associated to your Application.
   1. Note this only creates an association which makes the resources in the package available to your application. If you want this a template package to be the default setup for you application contact PhixFlow Support.

Configure PhixFlow to use the Template Package

1. Set the template package as the default for the application:
   • Either, when creating an application, select the template from the list. PhixFlow automatically configures your application to use its palette.
   • Or, to change the default palette for your application, go to  Application Properties → Basic Settings → Default Component Palette and select the palette you require.
