Here we can change our User Options to determine whether or not gates are created hierarchically. In FCS Express 6, Gates are automatically created hierarchically by default.  From this preference, you can also choose whether or not to include a statistic and the type of statistic within the gate text box.  With this option selected, a statistic is automatically added to gate text boxes upon creation of that gate.

1.Select File tab→Options (Fig. T30.5, outlined in red).

2.Click on the Gate category at the left (Fig. T30.6, ).

3.To de-select the option for hierarchical gating, uncheck the "When a new gate is created, create it hierarchically" box (Fig. T30.6, ).

4. Check the "Insert a gate stat in text box" box (Fig. T30.6, ). Note:  You may choose a different statistic from the drop-down menu to be added by default to gate text boxes;  see gate preferences for more details.

5. Click OK (Fig. T30.6, ).
