Publishing is simple
In order to publish a layout to the internet, simply select
File->Publish from the main menu. A easy-to-use wizard will
guide you through the process and in a few seconds you will have a URL
that you can distribute to anyone in the world. Then they can use the
free FCS Express reader to view and modify your analysis.

Provide your students with ready-made analyses, and
let them focus on just the specific things you want to teach.
Because FCS Express is a full presentation software,
you can embed instructions, lines, arrows and many other visual tools
to allow students to understand your lesson.
Let them save changes in the layouts, and then
students can send the modified layouts to you for review.
Provide the Reader for any number of students for
free - you only need one license for publishing.
Do you work in a
clinical lab?
Finally, you can provide full, unlimited Virtual Flow
for your clients.
Are you a researcher?
Give people access to your entire, live analysis, not
just an image of it.
Consult with colleagues around the world, on mailing
lists or forums, and no one needs to purchase any new software to see
or understand your questions.
Are you an
author/publisher?
Distribute layouts with a book, on a cd in the book
or on your website, and the examples and tutorials will come alive.
Are you a
vendor?
You can publish examples of your reagents so that
your customers can see what they really look like. Just like Cedarlane
did.
Publishing allows your potential customers to
interact with your data examples, move any gates, check for nonspecific
binding, etc. without the need for product sampling.
Customers with FCS Express can publish layouts for
you to view to assist them with technical questions or troubleshooting.
After I publish, will
my data be safe? Can other people see private information?
When dealing with HIPAA or other requirements for
anonymity, you have the need to protect patient information. FCS
Express allows you to remove or change keywords in your data files,
which is where the sensitive information is stored, before publishing.
Also, after your layout is published, FCS Express
will not let anyone export the raw data, unless you give explicit
permission during the publishing process (using the advanced
publisher).
All information stored in an FCS Express layout is
secure and encrypted, and cannot be extracted without using FCS Express
When other people are
looking at my published analysis, what can they do with it?
With the Standard Publisher, and the Free Reader,
when people look at your analysis, they will be able to use the vast
majority of functionality of FCS Express. These include moving
gates, modifying exisitng and adding new
plot, printing to PDF, to Powerpoint, viewing
statistics. The primary limitation is that they cannot change to
another set of data aside from what was published in the layout. A full
list of the allowed actions is available in the FCS Express Manual.
With the Advanced Publisher, you will have the
ability to let them perform either more actions or fewer actions - it's
entirely up to you. We have hundreds of security permissions to give
you fine grained control of what the user can, and cannot, do.
When I publish my
layouts, where do they get published to?
To one of two places:
The De Novo Software Publishing Site. When
you publish to here, you have 10 megabytes of storage available for
free. (Plans for purchasing more space are also available) OR
Any location you choose, on your own hard drive,
network, or your own web site. This option is available when you choose
the advanced publisher.
