Form: Application details

The following fields are configured on the Details tab:

The Menus tab:

This tab shows Menus which holds Stream Actions that can be applied for this Application. The selected menu is displayed at the main menubar.

Using the context menu (right-click) the user can choose which menu should be default for desktop and mobile devices. A corresponding icon will be displayed next to the name of an Application. Using that context menu the user can also load the Application with selected menu. All options available in the context menu are:

• Make Default Desktop Menu: set the menu as a default menu for this Application when using a PhixFlow on a computer
• Make Default Mobile Menu: set the menu as a default menu for this Application when using a PhixFlow on a mobile device (tablet/smartphone)
• Load Application: Load the Application with the selected menu using the same window
• Load Application In A New Tab: Load the Application with the selected menu using new tab
• Load Application In A New Window: Load the Application with the selected menu using new window

After creating a Menu there are two ways to add Lists and Buttons:

• Click on the Actions icon at the top of the grid. A popup window will appear listing all the available actions. Drag an action from this popup form onto the grid. If you drop onto an existing Button you will be asked if you want to create a new Button or to create a list which will hold new Buttons and the Button the Actions you dropped onto. If you drop onto an existing List the selected Actions will be added to the List.
• Use the '+' icon at the top of the grid. You can decide if you want to create a Button or a List.

You can add new Lists and Button to the existing List by following the same steps.

See the Action Button Details form for details of each Action Button.

The following field is configured on the Description tab:
