This page is for application designers who want to create actionflows to add functionality to an application screen. For actionflow concepts, see Understanding Actionflows.

On a screen, any component that has an  Actionflow tab can be configured to trigger an actionflow to run. 

To create an actionflow:

1. On a screen, click a component to display its properties. Components that can have actionflows are:
   • buttons
   • grid views
   • card/containers
   • areas
   • form fields.
2. There are 3 ways to add actionflows. In the component properties →  Actionflow Settings:
   • Adding via an event handler
     • click  Add New
     • Event Type select an event type
     • Action Method select Actionflow
     •  Apply
     • Actionflow, click  Add New
       
       
       
   • Adding via an action directly
     • Action Method select Actionflow
     • Actionflow, click  Add New.
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
   • Quick add for buttons
     • Right click on a button and select Add actionflow
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
3. PhixFlow opens the actionflow canvas.
4. Drag actions from the toolbar onto the central canvas 
5. Wire the actionflow and connect
   • instance inputs
   • action nodes
   • instance outputs (optional)

For more detail on actionflow nodes and wiring, see below.
