Repository Browser

The repository browser lists the objects in your PhixFlow instance. The Full Repository lists everything in the repository from all applications and packages, including anything which isn't inside an application or package. A user will only be able to see items which they have permission to view.

The repository explorer can be accessed by clicking the icon  in the bottom right hand corner in design mode. The repository browser may also be opened from some forms to view a subsection of items which may be dragged onto the form e.g. for adding a task plan rule to an action. 

Objects in the repository browser are organised by type; click the arrow next to the collection header to see all of the objects of that type. Objects in packages are not organised under collection headers by default, but this option can be enabled by right clicking on the package name and choosing 'Show the collection headers'.

In the repository browser right click on an item to view the menu for that object. Right click on a collection header to add a new item or show a detailed list of the items. Right clicking on individual objects will provide a menu of options depending on the item type; some of these options are detailed below. All objects can be permanently deleted from the repository browser. This will completely remove the object from the repository. 

Applications and Packages

To move an object to another application or package, drag and drop it on the new application or package in the repository browser. Each object can only be part of one application or package so when objects are moved into a package they are no longer included in the application. See Applications and Packages for more details.

To remove an item from an application or package, right click on it in the repository browser and select 'Remove from Container'. This will remove the item from the application or package, but it will still appear in the full repository.

Streams

Multiple items can be selected using Ctrl+click to select individual items or Shift+click to select a range. To rollback multiple streams at the same time, select the streams required and then right click on a selected stream. The menu option 'Rollback Selected Objects' will be available to rollback all of the selected streams.
