For new projects, a sample table can be automatically created from a tab-delimited text file.  There are several advantages of creating a sample table in this manner:

• You can define multiple samples and attributes even before data has been imported, and therefore you can:
  • Customize customize the name of your samples (and not use the automatic sample names generated based on file names)
  • Import import sample sheets as defined by the instrument that generated your data
• You can simultaneously create the sample table and import data, which allows you to:
  • Combine combine several files into one sample
  • Import import data located in multiple subdirectories

The text file must be created outside of Partek^® Flow^® (using other software such as Partek^® Genomics Suite^®, Microsoft^® Excel^® or any other text editor). A valid text file is a tab-delimited text file that contains at least one column that has unique entries (to be used as Sample IDs) and may have additional columns with sample information such as experimental attributes and (optional) filenames.

In a Data Tab where no samples have been imported yet (Figure 1), click the Assign sample attributes from a file button. 

Navigate to the file using the browser as shown in in Figure 2. Check the box next to the text file that you want to use and click Next.

Text files that contain only sample information and attributes such as the one shown in Table 1 can be imported to create a sample table with no associated files.  For this type of import, the text file may be located in either the Partek Flow server, My computer, or from a URL (Figure 2).
