Overview

A package is a way to share resources between PhixFlow applications; see Understanding Template Packages. Template packages include a palette and default design configuration for your application.


Template packages only need to be installed once.

When you install a package on an instance of PhixFlow, the files and data it contains overwrites any existing files with the same name. This means you could lose any changes or customisation you have made.

Installing Template Packages

  1. Navigate to the Learning Centre, in the download section click on a Template Package to download it.
  2. From the  Administration menu, select Import Options →  Import Configuration. 
  3. Navigate to the downloaded package and select it. Click OK.
  4. Click  Upload.
  5. The packages are encrypted and password protected. When prompted, enter the password:
    1. Theme 1, password: Theme1
    2. Theme2, password: Theme2
    3. Theme 2.1, password: Theme2
  6. Click ok and PhixFlow imports the package.

Configure PhixFlow to use the Template Package

  1. Set the template package as the default for the application:
    • Either, when creating an application, select the template from the list. PhixFlow automatically configures your application to use its palette.
    • Or, to change the default palette for your application, go to  Application Properties → Basic Settings → Default Component Palette and select the palette you require.
