Flow Globe manual

Everything the visual does, in the order you meet it.

This manual describes Glyphein Flow Globe, version 1.33. It is written for report authors - the people who place fields in the wells and set the visual up - and most chapters are also useful to the people who read the report.

First edition. It is published ahead of the Microsoft AppSource release, and it grows with the questions people ask. If something is missing or unclear, write to support@glyphein.eu.
