Summary of Steps

To avoid file name duplication in PhixFlow, when you name anything, add your initials to create a unique file name. The quick start instructions use the initials XY. Remember to use your own initials!

It is very simple to create a container for your PhixFlow application.

In the repository on the right, right-click on Application and select Add.
PhixFlow opens a properties tab for the application. Enter the name: Business Manager XY
Explore the possibilities
Scroll down the application properties tab. You can see there are lots of options where you can set defaults that apply to your application, including formats for the data and grid styles. This means all the screens within an application have a consistent appearance, but you can create a unique look-and-feel for each application.
You do not need to specify styles or data formats. When none are set, PhixFlow uses defaults that are set for the system. Applications that use the system defaults will have the same look-and-feel.
Click OK.
When prompted to load the application, click Yes.

You have now created a branch in the PhixFlow repository to store all the elements of your Business Manager application. You are now ready to step 2, define and import your data.
