Working with the Sample Capacity Extension
Assign Columns
This table allows you to make the mapping assignments for each column in the
imported file. To map a column in the imported file to a column in the
sequence table, you click in the cell to display a combo box, then select the
appropriate column from the displayed list.
Import Preview
The Import Preview shows a tabular view of the imported file. As you map the
columns of the imported file to the columns of the Hypersequence Table, the
mapping assignments are displayed in the column headers.
Making an import file
You can make an import file for your sequence (or hypersequence) using either
a spreadsheet program, such as MS Excel, or a text editor, such as Notepad. In
all cases, the file must consist of a list of items separated by a valid character
(delimiter). If you use MS Excel to make your import file, and save the file as
CSV (Comma delimited), each item in each line of the file is separated by a
comma, and each line ends with a line break. If you use Notepad to make your
import file, you can select a different delimiter character, for example a colon
(ascii 58), space (ascii 32) or tab (ascii 9) (but not a period (ascii 46)) instead
of a comma.
You may precede your list of items with header information (as many lines as
you like) that will not appear in the sequence import table, and you can
include column headings to help you later when you map your import file to
the sequence table (or hypersequence table). If you have ChemStore installed,
you may include custom fields. The column headings need not be the same as
the headings in the sequence table.
The items that you include in your file must be valid sequence table entries,
for example, method names, sample types, calibration levels, etc. You can use
any valid sample location formats; they are translated automatically on
import. Any invalid items in the import file are logged in the Import Summary.
