Use your PhixFlow sandbox to make a simple application. This application will have a single screen, called a layout, that displays data and lets you create, read, update or delete (CRUD) data records. You can additionally add comments.
Some things are already set up for you:
- a simple model to provide the data.
- a palette of components that you can drag onto the layout.
- styles that control the colours and appearance of the screen.
Remember that you can:
- build models using your own data stored in external databases or files. The Introduction to Modelling Course teaches you how to do this.
- set up your own styles and palettes to create completely customised layouts. The Building Applications Course goes through this process.
