Introduction to CenterView

CenterView is a Data Workflow Management system which can gather data from any system, analyse and transform that data, apply business rules and then create (and if required, email) dashboards, reports and templated spreadsheets. CenterView can automatically monitor the analysis results and generate alarms and workflows when configured rules are triggered and can update external systems directly.

Help Overview

CenterView help is context sensitive so as you move through the application click to view help relating to that form. However there are many other pages that can only be reached through the content tree (on the left here) and other links within the help system. If you find any errors in the help pages or if the text is unclear or topics are missing, please email us at support@phixflow.com and report the problem.

Good places to start are the Navigation page and the Client Application Notes as information here is generally applicable to all uses of CenterView. We also recommend that you make use of the Glossary / Index as this contains definitions for key terms and links to relevant pages.

The following list provides a brief overview of the help system. Note that you can dip into pages as and when needed or you can follow the Next links at the bottom of each page to read through the help in a logical order.
