  2. Optionally, click Add Image to upload a new image/icon file to PhixFlow. Recommended sizes. You can do this later using Application settings and or image upload ??links
    1. From the file browse window, navigate to and select the image file you want to use as an icon.  PhixFlow uploads the file to its database in images/icons ??dev to confirm
    2. Image name For selected images, PhixFlow displays the image name it knows. For new images, add an image name (how does this relate to filename?? - check image properties??)

  2. When the theme you like is displayed, click Create App

Under-the-hood

A theme is basically a "package" of items, e.g. styles, components for screens and palettes for them. When you create an application the selected theme package is added to your application. You can see it in the Package folder. And in the repository, all the loaded items are listed.


Where is stuff coming from??  Things can be set at different levels. Some examples?? selected theme, selected date formats etc...


  1. At PhixFlow level: done in system 
  2. At Application level
  3. At theme level
  4. At shared style level
  5. At specific component level



End point Application home page with access to Data, Design and Workflow. Same links as shortcuts in the header bar.
