For new projects, a sample table can be automatically created from a tab-delimited text file. There There are several advantages of creating a sample table in this manner:
...
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. Examples of text files are shown in Figures 3, X, Y, Z.
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. Depending on the content and location of the text file, creating the sample table can be done with or without data import.

Creating a Sample Table without Data Import
Text files that contain only sample information and attributes such as the one shown in Figure 3 can be imported to create a sample table with no associated files. For 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).
...
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 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 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 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 There are no filenames in the text file so the Files column is empty.
...
a sample table that also includes the locations of filenames can only be based based on the sample table (as described later in this section)
...
The text file must be in the server or a folder that is readable by the partek flow server. the text file contains filenames

Flow recognizes sees that some columns in your text file are filenames of
