Workflow

Warning

Warning

Reports should never be altered directly in the flat file as the structure of the file can inadvertently altered and corrupted. The files will then not accepted by HEPCAT. The preferred method from us is to update the information directly in Paradigm and then re - export the reports for transferring into HEPCAT.
