Important MassHunter Quant concepts and rules
A Batch is a file which contains all the Quant results from a set of data files and the Quant method used.
All the data files in a Batch must reside in a single directory, so put them all together before creating a New Batch.
Select the data directory before creating the Batch
I would not recommend using the Browse to Copy Samples push. You will have two copies of the same files. Preferred solution is to create the batch in the directory which contains the data files.

Important MassHunter Quant concepts and rules:Quant methods
The most common method problem: Calibration/QC level names in Batch and Quant method do not match, e.g.
- Method: levels are 1,2,3,4,5
- Batch: levels are L1,L2,L3,L4,L5
Second most common problem: a hidden column in the Method with a key parameter, e.g. Ion Polarity if method created manually.
Many Quant parameters can be copied between compounds with Apply to All button.
When in doubt, Right-Click to look for convenient features and shortcuts, like Fill Down or Fill Column.
