To make this easier on yourself, I suggest making a sticky-note with the following information for the sequence on which you'll be working: 
Sequence Number
Observation ID
Rootname
Source Name
GBM File Number
Redshift
Galactic Column

Most of the above info can be found on the list for sequence numbers which need to be done; 
the last two numbers can be found on the by clicking on the appropriate sequence number and observation id combo at http://hotgas.pha.jhu.edu/hetg_seq.html
