Ion Reporter step in the workflow bar
If you are an Ion Reporter™ Software user, when you create a Planned Run or a Planned Run template, use this step to add settings to transfer automatically run results to Ion Reporter™ Software for further analysis and visualization.
You can directly transfer results in one of the following ways:
-
On the Ion Reporter step in the workflow bar, if you select an Ion Reporter™ Software account and an analysis workflow, then also select the option to upload files automatically after run completion, an Ion Reporter™ Software analysis is launched immediately after the run. Successful analyses are then available in Ion Reporter™ Software when you sign in to the selected account.
-
You can also transfer the output files (BAM files and VCF files) from the run to Ion Reporter™ Software without selecting an Ion Reporter™ Software analysis workflow. In this case, you can launch the analysis manually in Ion Reporter™ Software. This approach is commonly used to annotate the VCF files by using the Annotation-only analysis workflow in Ion Reporter™ Software. For details, see Ion Reporter™ Software Help (Pub. No. MAN0017204).
In the Ion Reporter step in the workflow bar, you select the Ion Reporter™ Software account to receive data from the completed run. If you are creating a Planned Run template, select the account to receive data from every run that is created from this Planned Run template.
Selections in the Ion Reporter step apply only to Ion Reporter™ Software users. The Ion Reporter™ Software is not included with Torrent Suite™ Software and is available under separate license. For details, see Integration with Ion Reporter Software.
Use the plan by Sample Set feature when you configure Ion Reporter™ Software in your Planned Run or template. For details, see Plan by Sample Set.
-
In the Ion Reporter step in the workflow bar, select the Ion Reporter™ Software account that you want to transfer output files to for analysis.
The selected account is the one to use to view and further analyze the files in Ion Reporter™ Software.
If the Ion Reporter™ Software account is not configured, click Configure to add another account. For more information, see Set up an account for IonReporterUploader plugin.
-
Select a Sample Grouping that corresponds to the sample relationship in Ion Reporter™ Software.
When you select a Sample Grouping, the workflow bar in Ion Reporter™ Software shows only the analysis workflows that are appropriate for the sample.
- Select an Existing Workflow option.
- (Optional) To create a new analysis workflow, click Create New Workflow to open Ion Reporter™ Software in a new browser window. In Ion Reporter™ Software, create a new analysis workflow, then save it. When you return to Torrent Suite™ Software, refresh your browser. You can then select the newly created analysis workflow in the Existing Workflow list.
- Select an Ion Reporter Upload Option.
- Click Next in the workflow bar to continue with the Planned Run or with Planned Run template creation.
