Introduction
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
- Define your data
- Load the data into PhixFlow
- Create a screen to maintain your data
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
