For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties. We recommend you always add a Description that explains the purpose of the item you are creating.

For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Properties, Windows, Menus and Toolbars.

The toolbar includes the button to Display Screen.

Basic Settings

Field	Description
Name	The name of the screen.
Open Maximised	If ticked, the screen opens fills the whole screen when it is opened.
Allow User to Resize	If ticked, the user can change the size of the screen while in app mode. All designers can still change
Show Toolbar	Show the toolbar on the screen.
Always On Top	Always keep the screen on top.
Keep Data	If ticked, the screen data is available and can be referenced even after the screen is closed. It can be used if the user wants to store global data available in the system.
Preload	If ticked, PhixFlow preloads the screen as it is setting up. Preloading adds to PhixFlow's setup time. When the user then opens the screen, it displays immediately. The data itself may still take time to load. Use this option for screens that the user will always want to open when they use PhixFlow.
Cache Locally	If ticked, PhixFlow does not preload the screen. Instead, when the user opens the screen for the first time, PhixFlow caches it on the client computer. When the user closes and reopens the screen, it loads immediately. The data itself may still loads from the server. Use this option for screens that a user may want to open.

To edit a screen, right-click and select Unlock Layout.

Splitter Bars

A screen can be divided into multiple, resizing panes by adding vertical or horizontal splitter bars. Right-click the pane or any zone on the pane to:

Add Vertical Bar
Add Horizontal Bar

Splitter bars can be removed by right clicking on an empty pane and selecting Delete Pane.

Add Zone

A zone can be added to a screen by dragging predefined Stream Views onto the screen pane.

Remove Zone

You can remove an element from the screen by right clicking on the view and going to screen Options → Remove Element From screen

Link Screen Elements

You can link screen views together so that the contents of one view are filtered based on items selected in a "Driver" view.

A grid view (grids only) will be automatically made a "Driver", if any of the filter expressions in any of the screen elements reference the view by name.

To make a screen element dependent upon the Driver view, set it up with a Filter which uses at least one condition with an expression containing the drivers view name. i.e ACCTS. When the Filter is evaluated, the view name ACCTS notation will contain the rows selected on the Driver view. An example condition expression is:

AccountNum equals ACCTS.AccountNumber

Where AccountNumber is an Attribute on the Driver view.
