This page is for administrators who need to set up a directory where PhixFlow can save files.
When PhixFlow generates CSV or Excel files, it saves them to a secure folder, called the download folder. Set the location of the download folder in System Configuration → System Directories → File Download Location.
Processes that save files to the download folder are:
- exporting a configuration or stream data.
- running an analysis model that exports a file
- running an action in an application that exports a file.
- Users can then access the folder to download a file.
Users can access the folder to download their files.
Data Security
PhixFlow automatically deletes files after a period of time. By default, files are available for 24 hours. You can set a different time period in System Configuration → General Settings → File Download Expiry
PhixFlow encrypts the files and requires a password to unencrypt the files. The password is set by the user when they start the process that generates the file. When they user downloads the file, PhixFlow prompts them for the same password.
You can define a Password Policy for the file passwords that users create and use it in System Configuration → Advanced → Export Password Policy.
