Create a Planned Run from a Planned Run template

You can create Planned Runs from a preinstalled or custom Planned Run template that contains run settings. The preinstalled Planned Run templates are included in the software for standard research applications and kits, such as Ion AmpliSeq™ or Oncomine™ workflows. Custom Planned Run templates can be created as described in Create a custom Planned Run template

When creating a Planned Run from a preinstalled Planned Run template, some settings are predefined by the template and some remain to be selected or completed. The predefined settings can vary between Planned Run templates. You can change any of the settings to create your Planned Run, even those settings that are predefined in the Planned Run template.

Most Planned Run templates have a corresponding Ion AmpliSeq™ or Oncomine™ panel. When you create a Planned Run from a Planned Run template, the Create Plan workflow bar opens in the last screen. If you accept all of the Planned Run template settings, you need only supply a run plan name and sample names to create a Planned Run.

  1. In the Plan tab, click Templates, then select the desired research application from the left navigation menu. Instead, you may click Favorites if you have added the template to your favorites list.
  2. In the Template Name column of the templates table, click the template name.

    The Create Plan workflow bar opens to the Plan step.

  3. The Run Plan Name is prepopulated with the template name. Enter new text to create a unique Planned Run name.
  4. Complete additional settings in the Plan step if needed. For more information about the individual settings, see Plan step in the workflow bar.

    As you make selections, the settings are updated in the Summary pane. You can also use the information in this pane to review the settings that are predefined by the template.

  5. Click other steps in the workflow bar to enter or change settings if needed.
  6. When you have completed your selections, review the settings in the Summary pane, then click Plan Run at the bottom of the Plan step.

    The Planned Run is added to the list on the Planned Runs screen.
