The Modelling Concepts training course introduces the fundamentals of modelling concepts in PhixFlow. It also describes some of the internal workings of PhixFlow to give you a better understanding of how to create well-designed models. This course covers techniques that will allow you to create all but the most advanced models.

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 business processes 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. Users drag and drop templates and components to design a screen or customise their 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 in the form of actions. This item is not shown on the home screen but is accessible through buttons and click events associated with screen content.
