Using the Text File to Create the Sample Table

...

Text files that contain only sample 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.

If you have a text file that contains sample IDs and attributes as well as the filenames of your data, you can create the sample table and start the data import at the same time. This is particularly useful for projects where multiple files are associated with the same sample (e.g., a sample ran in multiple lanes in the sequencer). For this type of import, the text file must be located in the Partek Flow server (Figure 2).

In the text file, 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, etc., to define the columns. There is no limit on the number of columns on the text file.
