| Matrix name | When a kinship matrix is stored in a text file this provides a space to specify the name of identifier for the matrix to use in Genstat. This field is disabled when a Genstat spreadsheet file is opened and the name of the matrix within the file is used. |
Subpopulation group
Provides options for importing a subpopulation factor. When a filename is selected the fields will be enabled appropriate for the chosen file type.
| Filename | This specifies the name for the file containing the subpopulation group factor. The factor can be imported from a Genstat spreadsheet (*.gsh, *.gwb), Excel file (*.xls, *xlsx) or from a text file. You can browse for a filename by clicking on the button. |
| Sheet name | For a Genstat spreadsheet or book file the names of the sheets within the file are displayed. Select the name of the sheet that contains the subpopulation factor. |
| Available columns | This lists the columns within a sheet for a Genstat spreadsheet or book file, or lists the columns within the file for other file types. Double-click a name or select a name and  button to copy it to the current input field or type the name |
| Subpopulation factor | Specifies the subpopulation factor to open from the file. |
