- You can define multiple samples and attributes even before data has been imported, and therefore you can:
- customize the name of your samples (and not use the automatic sample names generated based on file names)
- 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 several files into one sample
- import data located in multiple subdirectories
Selection of the Text File
The text file must be created outside of Partek® Flow® (you can use software such as Partek® Genomics Suite®, Microsoft® Excel® or any text editor). A valid text file is a tab-delimited text file that contains one sample per row and columns containing sample information. At least one column must have unique entries and will be suggested as Sample IDs. Additional columns may contain numeric or categorical attributes and (optional) filenames. Examples of text files are shown in Figures 3, X, Y, Z.

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 this type of import, the text file may be located in either the Partek Flow server, My computer, or from a URL (Figure 2).
...
Click Import and the table will be created (Figure 5). Click Show data files to expand the table and associate files. For more details see the Adding samples section.

Creating a Sample Table with Data Import
Currently, filenames should be separated by tabs (if in a table, each file should be in a different column... maximum one file per column)
...
Flow recognizes sees that some columns in your text file are filenames of
