About Local and
Global Graph
Folders
Item Quick Graph
Flowlink Pro manages graphs (including scatter plots and tables)
locally and globally. Local graphs are saved on the Flowlink Pro
user’s computer and therefore are only visible to that user.
If you have made a graph that should be available to all Flowlink
Pro users, you can save it in the Global folder using the
Item>Save to Global Folder menu command. This saves the
graph properties (not the data) on the Flowlink Server. When
other users open the graph from the Global folder, Flowlink Pro
reads the graph properties and reproduces it as a local graph on
the user’s computer.
It is important to remember that all graphs are opened, viewed,
and modified locally. Opening a Global graph, making changes,
and then saving it (File>Save) will create a like-named graph in
the local folder; however it is no longer the same as the Global
graph. To update the Global graph, use the Item>Save to Global
Folder menu command and overwrite the Global graph.
When a site or data set is highlighted in the workspace, clicking
the Quick Graph button (or Item>Quick Graph from the menu)
opens the data in a new graph.
