Depending on the content and location of the text file, creating the sample table can be done with or without data import.

During import, Partek Flow will recognize columns that contain unique entries and suggest those as possible Sample IDs.  

 You can show or hide the sample/text file columns.

In Figure 3, the headers of the text file are presented and the user can select the Sample ID, which to be imported and The text file will be summarized as in Figure 4.  The first two columns show the headers and example terms from the text file (Figure 3).  The suggested Attribute names can be edited before import. Columns that contain unique entries are recognized as possible Sample IDs and you can select 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 headers from the text file are in the first column as Attribute names, which can be edited.  Example entries are shown

 

 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

radio button can be used to select the preferred sample ID

former is selected as the Sample ID.  The "Freezer location" has been deselected and it will not be included in the Sample table. Since "Age" has number terms, the Attribute type column 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.
