Part 3: Import Data

From the Summary tab, there are two ways to import your data:

1. Import File – choose individual files to import
2. Import Folder – import all chromatograms within a folder, including subfolders and snapshots

All imported data will appear in the Summary tab.

Option 1: Import File

This is the default method to import from the Tool Bar. This option is ideal if you only want to import select chromatograms.

• Select Import Files from the Summary tab
• Open the folder containing your chromatogram(s)
• Select which file(s) to import

Note: You will only be able to select multiple files if they are in the same folder.

Option 2: Import Folder

This option is ideal if you want to import many data files from the same location at once.

Note: Report files with the .csv format within the folder may also be imported.

• Select Import Folder from the summary tab
• Select the folder you would like to import
• Choose how the imported files will be named
  • Sample ID – ideal when all samples within a project are unique. Blanks or duplicate runs with the same name will not be differentiated
  • File Name
  • Folder Name – ideal when the project includes duplicate runs or samples with the same name.
