Mass Hunter Correction Factor on a Per Compound Basis

Question

I am looking to replicate the function of the "Correction Factor" setting from Chemstation in MassHunter ver B-07.01 or 10.2 
 I have a GCMS scan quant method with multiple compounds. 
 Calibrators and samples are not matrix matched. 
 
 There are differences in extraction efficiency for each compound. 
 Historically, our quant software allowed a "correction factor", "compound variable" or some other way to correct for the difference in extraction efficiency at the quant method level. 
 
 I cannot find the functional equivalent within MassHunter method editor. 
 Where\how in the method editor can I put the needed correction factor on a per compound basis? 
 
 While not the preferred route, I assume a this function can be performed within the quant table, but this isn't obvious to me either. 
 Performing this function during the reporting phase is not an option for our workflow.

Hello dscott_KS , 
 Quant does not have a multiplier that can be applied on a per compound basis. This type of correction could be done with scripting but would require the SDK and Python or C# programming. See this discussion for details, though currently the Python debugging script will not work in the latest versions of Visual Studio. This will be resolved in a future release of Quant.

 You could use some of the per compound User Defined fields to store the multiplier and then store the corrected concentration in the Custom Calc. field. This is similar to how the blank subtraction add-in works.
