The text file will be summarized as in Figure 7. Filenames that are recognized as valid file types and also located in the same folder as the text file are presented in the Files column.

Click Import and the table will be created (Figure 8). Once the table has been created, wait for a few seconds and you will notice that the server icon Image Modifiedis animated will be animated. This means that the the process of importing the data files have started. Click the Queue dropdown and you can select View queued tasks... and that each file is being being to see that the files are being imported into the project (Figure 9).

At this stage, you can also go to the Analyses Tab of the project and see that the data node has been created but the color is light blue, which indicates the import is not complete. Once all the files have been imported from the queue, Analyses Tab will show the data node to be dark blue ,(Figure 10).

To view the files associated with the data, go to the Data Tab and click Show data files to expand the table. Figure 11 shows that 4 files were successfully imported for each sample. You can add more or delete samples as described in the Adding samples section.

If your samples are in different subdirectories, you must include the path in for your file name. You can use either a relative path or an absolute path.

Relative paths

This means the the path you will include is You can use a path relative to the location of the text file you are using to create the sample table. For example in Figure 12, the text file is located in a directory called "download" while the files are in a subdirectory called MyData, then the filenames must include the path /MyData/. An example is shown below:

/MyData/NA1031_S25_L007_R1_001.fastq.gz

Absolute path

This means the the path you will include is the full file You can use the full path to the file based on the file structure of your Partek Flow server. You  You must include the directories paths starting from the Partek Flow home directory (see region in Figure 13, red box in Figure 13). For typical installations, the path begins with /home/flow/FlowData/ and so the filenames to include in the text file may look like this:

/home/flow/FlowData/download/MyData/NA1031_S25_L007_R1_001.fastq.gz
