What is a template? When you define a table, you will add rows to a
table template. Each row defines one statistic that you want to export,
such as frequency, mean fluorescence of FITC, etc. When you create the
table, FlowJo cycles through each sample in the current group and requests the particular statistic defined in the table.
Then, when you create the table and import it into another program, you
will have one row in the table for every sample in the current group, and
one column for every statistic in the table template.
You may define as many table templates as you wish; you could use one
for each different set of statistics. This one, as you may have guessed,
will be used for generating a table of the major PBMC subsets analyzed
in the first stain combination. Note that you can apply a template to
any group; it doesn’t matter which group was active at the time that
you defined the table template. However, most likely your table will
only be applicable to one group of samples.
Go back to your Workspace, and select the PBMC subsets group. From
the first sample only, select the “Lymphocytes” and “CD45+” subpopulations, and the two frequency statistics under the “CD45+” subset.
(shift-click to highlight the four rows.) Drag the highlighted rows and
drop them into the right portion of the Table Editor window. The Table
Editor will now look like it does here:
Just as you can
use the option drag action on
analysis trees
between samples,
you can also use
option -drag for
transferring an
entire tree to the
Table Editor.
