Create Multiple Run Plans

The Plan Multiple button for a template creates a CSV file with information for multiple run plans. Each data line in the CSV file is a separate run plan.

Follow these steps to use the Plan Multiple feature:

1. Select the template to create run plans from. Click the Plan Multiple button for that template:
   
   
   
   
2. In the popup, specify how many run plans you want created from the template and click the button Download CSV for batch planning .The CSV file is downloaded to your local machine. An example file name is batchPlanning_2013_01_15_12_53_42.csv . The naming pattern is batchPlanning_ timestamp . csv .
   
   
   
   
3. You edit the CSV file (on your local machine). For each plan, fill in the Run Name and Sample Name columns :
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. If necessary, you can optionally customize individual run plans, such as for plugins to run or number of flows to execute. (However, these changes are usually done in the template.)
   
   
   
   
5. When your run plans are complete, save the CSV file.
6. Back in the Templates page, in the Favorites group, click the Upload Plans button:
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. In the Upload Plan Run s popup, click the Choose File button, browse to your CSV file, and click Open . The file name appears on the right of the Choose File button.
   
   
   
   
8. Click the Upload CSV for batch planning button. Any errors found in the CSV file, such as missing run names or sample names, are shown in the Upload Plan Run s popup.
   
   
   
   
9. The Torrent Browser create run pans from your CSV file and assigns your new plans a run code. The Torrent Browser opens the Planned Runs tab.
   
   
   
   

Notes about the Plan Multiple feature:

• In this release, the defaults are used for plugins that are specified in multiple runs plans. To configure options, such as for the variantCaller plugin, on the Planned Runs page edit each plan to configure the plugin options.
• After you click the Upload CSV for batch planning button, if any errors such as missing run names or sample names are found in the CSV file, the errors are shown in the Upload Plan Run s popup.
