JobId
The JobId is a number given to you by the management system when creating a new job, and when later accessing it (view job, edit job, etc). It identifies your job uniquely for us among all the jobs in the system.
Multiple Runs Creation
When you have a bunch of runs to add to a job's list, you can use the form (that you use normally to create new runs) as a template and ask the system to fill in automatically the sample names. Below are the different steps to do that:
First Step
Check the radio button “Multiple runs”. The system will use what you typed in the fields of the form as a “template”, except for sample names.
Second Step
You need to tell the system what to use for sample names. You have two possibilities:
Use the SampleName field as template
This consists of using whatever you typed in the “SampleName” field of the form, and tell the system to add simply a number to it: 1,2,..., i,...,N. Actually, you can also choose the starting point, s (instead of 1) and the samples will be named
<SampleName><s>,
<SampleName><s+1>,
<SampleName><s+2>,
...
<SampleName><s+i>,
...
<SampleName><s+N-1>.
To do that, you need to check the radio button “automatic sample names” and select the number of samples wanted, N (the total number of runs in a job cannot exceed 96) and the starting point, s.
Use a list of names
The other possibility is to provide the system with the complete list of sample names and ignore what is typed in the SampleName field. To do that, you have to check the radio button “provide names”, and fill in the text area with each sample name on a line. Note that spaces, tabulations and “*” characters are not allowed in sample names. Leading and trailing spaces will be automatically discarded.
