Administration Menu
The| Tip |
|---|
The options that are available in the Administration menu depend upon your privileges. Administrators configure privileges in roles; see Managing User Groups and Privileges. |
The menu has the following options:
Save the current properties and close the tab.
Save the current properties and keep the tab open.
Toggle between the current property tab and one that was previously open.
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.
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.
Property Section Toolbars
Each property 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.
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.
Model Toolbar
Context All objects have context menus associated with them which are accessed by right-clicking the mouse button. One key context menu item context menu entry "" Grid explorer data e.g. Stream Itemsa data record. The operations on configuration object grids are all very similar (e.g. add, delete, refresh etc.) however data grids will have additional operations which are all described on the help page for that object.
The following general features of grids are worth noting:
The items on grids are paged which means that PhixFlow fetches a batch of data at a time to populate the grid. The grid footer bar indicates which items are being shown, how many items there are in total and the page size. The user can page forwards and backwards using and
. Note that the user can also change the page size (the number of rows brought back from the PhixFlow Database). Please note that with very large datasets it will be more efficient to filter the the data rather than page through it!
Columns can be ordered by clicking the column header. Each click reverses the order direction. Please note that only the items currently paged in the display are ordered.
The following functional icons are common to many grids:
