 About PhixFlow

PhixFlow is a Low-Code Application Development Platform that allows businesses to create and deploy applications, from tactical fixes through to enterprise-level solutions, that automate complex processes, fix data problems, drive efficiency and cost reductions.  

PhixFlow gathers data from any system, analyses and transforms that data, applying business rules and sharing results through custom screens and/or exports. Applications house the configuration, providing end users' with controlled access to the configured screens that display linked collections of data (both the transformed data and real-time data).

Each application can be configured with sets of linked menus that control how users can interact with the data e.g. modifying, adding new data, filtering, triggering further analysis etc. PhixFlow can automatically monitor the analysis results and interactions to update external systems directly.

PhixFlow is developed by PhixFlow Ltd., a software company based in Cambridge, UK. For more information on PhixFlow visit www.phixflow.com.



 About the PhixFlow Help

PhixFlow help is context sensitive so as you move through the application click  Help 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 feedback@phixflow.com and report the problem.

Good places to start are the Getting to Know PhixFlow page and the Menu Options and Toolbar Buttons as information here is generally applicable to all uses of PhixFlow.

The following list provides a brief overview of the help system.
