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 one sample per row and and attributes on columns. At least one column that has must have unique entries (to and will be used suggested as Sample IDs) and may have additional columns with sample information such as experimental . Additional columns may contain numeric or categorical attributes and (optional) filenames. Examples of text files are shown in Figures 3, X, Y, Z.
In a To select the text file, create a new project and in the blank Data Tab where (no samples have been imported yet (Figure 1), click the Assign sample attributes from a file button (Figure 1).

Navigate to the file using the browser as shown in in Figure 2. The text file may be located in either the Partek Flow server, My computer, or from a URL. However, if you wish to create the sample table and start importing the data at the same time, (explained later in this section), the text file must be on the Partek Flow server.
Check the box next to the text file that you want to use and click Next. Depending on the content and location of the text file, creating the sample table can be done with or without data import.

The text file will be summarized as in Figure 4. The first two columns show the headers and example terms parsed from the text file (in Figure 3). The suggested Attribute attribute names can be edited renamed before import. Columns that contain unique entries are recognized as possible Sample IDs and you can select be selected using the radio button in the fifth column. You can also choose which attributes to be included and (if applicable), whether they are numeric or categorical. The Show/hide file preview link allows you to preview the text of the tab delimited text file you are using.
In the example in Figure 3, the columns for "Sample name" and "Freezer Location" are both unique and the former is selected as the Sample ID. The "Freezer location" has been deselected and it will not be included in the resulting Sample table. Since "Age" has all number terms, the Attribute type column for it is a drop down menu to choose between Numeric and Categorical. There are no filenames in the text file so the Files column is empty.
