Application Home Screen

PhixFlow is divided into key areas, each of which is designed to handle a different aspect of application creation:

ERD: Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) allow us to define the data that backs your application and the relationships between data objects (See Understanding ERDs).

Workflow: Workflows model the steps of a business process from end to end, showing the actual components of your application that performs each activity. They visually depict a detailed sequence of business activities and information flows needed to complete your business process. 

Screens: Screens allow application users to interact with data. Simply drag-and-drop templates and components to design a screen or customise your own using CSS; see Designing Screens.

Analysis Use Analysis Models to process large data sets and create integrations with your existing data sources; see Analysis Models for Batch Processing Data.

Actionflows: An actionflow is a diagram in which you create the functionality of your application. This item is not shown on the home screen.
