When a file is imported or uploaded, it is auto-assigned an info-type to identify the type of data it contains. You can change or assign the info-type for a file you own or to which you have write permissions. File-type auto-detection is available for text files, including .bam, .csv, .fasta, .fastq, .fa, .fq, .nwk, .newick, .phylip, .tsv, and more.Files that were uploaded prior to the 1.8.4 release may not have an assigned info-type, but a CyVerse user with own or write permissions to the file can change it. Typically, the info-type is auto-detected; however, if you have a file that is not listed in the Info-Type list, send us the sample file and we can add it to our grammar to detect it
| Note |

The automatic info-type assignment is an asynchronous process that is dependent on other requests in the queue, which may cause a delay until the info-type is assigned. You can manually assign the info-type immediately, if necessary. |
