Accessing an Application Using a URL
Your administrator will supply a URL that you use to open the PhixFlow client in a browser. If your PhixFlow URL does not include a specific application, PhixFlow opens with the Application menu open.
The URL can also run PhixFlow in the browser and load a specified application. To do this the URL must include an application and can optionally include a menu:
?application=APP&menu=MENU
Where APP
is the name of the application and MENU
is the name of the menu the user requires. If no MENU
is included, PhixFlow will use the default menu for the application; see Application.
The PhixFlow instance for a company is https://bigcorp.com/phixflow/
. To open the Data Analysis application with the menu Options displayed, enter the following URL into a browser.
https://bigcorp.com/phixflow/?application=Data%20Analysis&menu=Options
Spaces in application and menu names should be represented using %20
.
Open a web browser on a client machine and navigate to:
http://<server name or ip address>:<port number>/phixflow/start.html
E.g.
http://server1:8081/phixflow/start.html
You can start an application directly with the URL. See applications for details of how to create applications. It is also possible to navigate to different applications within PhixFlow.
If your base URL is
http://server1:8081/phixflow/start.html
and the application name is Operations, then the following URL will take you directly to the Operations application:
http://server1:8081/phixflow/start.html?application=Operations
