Copying analyses (gates, statistics, kinetics, cell cycle, etc.) from one sample to another is very easy: simply click on the analysis (a gate, statistic, or graph node), and drag it to the destination. The node is added on to the destination node as a "child" of the destination (i.e., it is a applied to only those cells which fall within the gate you drop the analysis on).

You can drag entire trees around this way, selecting children, parents, or multiple nodes. There are specific rules for how these are taken around when you drag; see the pages on dragging and dropping.

Note that if you drag a gate onto a population which already has a gate with the same name as that you are copying, then FlowJo asks what you would like to do: you can replace the existing gate, you can retain the existing gate, or you can add the current gate with a change in its name. (The reason for all of this is that FlowJo does not allow you to have two gates with the same name at the same level of analysis). These options are more fully described in the pages on replacing nodes.

You can automate the process of attaching analyses to samples by using groups. You can add analyses to a group; then every sample which belongs to the group or is later attached to the group gets those analyses. This is one of the powerful batch analysis features of FlowJo.  You may view an example of group-based analysis.

You can drag analyses across workspaces; in other words, you can drag an analysis from one workspace and drop it onto a sample or a group in a different workspace. You need to have both workspace windows open to do this; simply drag from one to the other.
