Getting Help in FlowJo

FlowJo is littered with help buttons throughout the application. Clicking on one of these launches a web browser to access our Web page describing that topic. Or, you can choose help from the Apple menu while running FlowJo to go directly to the general help page.

In addition, you can press the "help" key on your keyboard at any time. This will activate the help button on the frontmost window (if one exists); otherwise, it will provide you with general help on FlowJo.

Using the web browser, FlowJo gives you "context-sensitive help"--i.e., taking you to help information specifically regarding the operation you are currently performing.

If you are not connected to the internet, FlowJo can access help files installed on your hard drive. With the installation CD in your computer, browse to a folder called Documentation. Drag this folder into the same folder on your hard drive as the FlowJo program. Now when you click on a help button, FlowJo will access the reference manual from your computer.
