Text files that contain only sample information IDs 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)
If you have a text file that contains sample information, attributes, and filenames of your data, you can create the sample table and start the data import at the same time. For this type of import, the text file must be located in the Partek Flow server (Figure 2).
Each filename to be associated with the sample must be separated by a tab. That means, if you are using a spreadsheet software to generate the text file, there is a maximum of one file per column. You also need to add headers such as file1, file2... to the text file. There is no limit on the number of columns on the text file.
The filenames on the table must show the proper extension of data types compatible with Partek Flow (see Types of Data).
The actual files can be in the same directory as the text file or in a different directory. However, if the files are in a different directory, you must specify the file paths.
Text file and data files are in the same directory (no file path needed)
The text file will be summarized as in Figure 5. The first two columns show the headers and example terms parsed from the text file in Figure 3. The suggested attribute names can be renamed before import. Columns that contain unique entries are recognized as possible Sample IDs and can be selected using the radio button. You can 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 4, 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.
A feature of creating the sample ability to combine this step with data import ... the additional feature of importing samples during table creation (described below) are currently only available if the text file is in the Partek the Partek Flow Server.
