This page is for PhixFlow application developers who need to create a new application, or change the defaults for an existing application.

Overview

The application is an object which defines the PhixFlow instance's properties like its menu bar.

To start an application:

either, in the repository browser, right-click on the application name and select
Insert excerpt
_app_load
_app_load
nopanel true
or enter the application URL in a browser; see Starting PhixFlow on the Client. When PhixFlow is started in this way, you can still navigate to other applications that you have permission to access.

When you create a new application in the repository, PhixFlow automatically creates its menu. When you add the first option to the menu, it is automatically displayed in the navigation bar.
