Top level/Root level list available to lower projects. mark.shifman  2014-08-08 11:20

this is an obvious question that must be answered in FAQ (if I knew where to look)

I have a root level list of flow cytometry population names and I want to use be able to use it in all my projects.

How do I do it? Is there a special property I have to set somewhere or is there some special way to address it like
home.Lists.HIPC_Panel_Names (which didn't work) or both.

Hi Mark,
Yes, one may view data from one folder in another folder using 'cross-folder-queries'. Examples of how to write these queries is described in the following document page. Let me know if you have any further questions - we would be happy to help.

Thanks!! It worked!

You have to know what to ask! I was searching for "inherit list" and the like and would never have considered "cross folder query".

Thanks for the rapid reply.
