Import and Export Sample Sheets

If you already have a sample sheet that you want to use to configure the run, select Import Sample Sheet to select the CSV file that contains all the run settings and sample information. Make sure that the sample sheet file that you are importing has the same column headings as the sample table for the current analysis module. For example, if the analysis module requires a manifest file, the sample sheet file must have a manifest column. The Sample ID column has a 40 character limit.

After filling out the run information and entering at least one sample in the samples table, you can export the run information to an external CSV file by selecting Export Sample Sheet. This is helpful to ensure compatibility on future runs or to use as a template when manually editing sample sheets.
