Fields

Ident Type

The style of template:
- Stepped—A sample sequence where samples have one running sequence incremented in steps.
- DualStepped—A sample sequence where samples have two running sequences incremented in inner and outer steps.
- Matrix—A sample sequence where samples have two running sequences incremented in concurrent steps.
Template

The template used to generate the Client Sample Name/Syntax, entered as a free-text entry. For an Ident Type of:
- Stepped
  - An outer loop of numbers is generated by replacing the first sequence of '#' or '&' characters with a zero-filled number.
  - Only one contiguous sequence of '#' or '&' characters is permitted in the syntax as the presence of a subsequent sequence of '#' or '&' characters causes sample expansion to fail on submit.
  - An inner loop of text string is generated by replacing the first occurrence of a '!' character with the supplied string values, with one value supplied per row.
  - Only one occurrence of a '!' character is permitted in the syntax as the presence of a subsequent '!' character causes sample expansion to fail to submit.
  - The '@' character is not a supported wildcard for stepped syntaxes.
  - Where the filling number's character string is longer than the string of '#' or '&' characters in the syntax, then the output is expanded to accommodate this.
  - The syntax is not expanded by the Sample Ident Wizard but kept in syntax form and only expanded on submit to create samples.
  - Examples:
    - ```
    ABC#DEF with numbers from 5 to 10 results in ABC5DEF, ABC6DEF... ABC10DEF on submit.
```
- ```
ABC&DEF with numbers from 5 to 10 results in ABC5DEF, ABC6DEF... ABC10DEF on submit.
```
    - ```
    SAMPLE-##-!-X-! with numbers from 1 to 3 and strings A,B,C results in an error being raised on submit.
```
- ```
SAMPLE-##-! with numbers from 1 to 3 and strings A,B,C results in SAMPLE-01-A, SAMPLE-01-B, SAMPLE-01-C, SAMPLE-02-A ... SAMPLE-03-C on submit.
```
- DualStepped
  - An outer loop of numbers is generated by replacing the first sequence of '#' characters with a zero-filled number.
  - Only one contiguous sequence of '#' characters is permitted in the syntax as the presence of a subsequent sequence of '#' characters causes sample expansion to fail on submit.
  - An inner loop of numbers is generated by replacing the first sequence of '&' characters with a zero-filled number.
  - Only one contiguous sequence of '&' characters is permitted in the syntax as the presence of a subsequent sequence of '&' characters causes sample expansion to fail on submit.
  - Both sequences of '#' and '&' characters are required for dual-stepped templates.
  - The '@' and '!' characters are not a supported wildcard for dual-stepped syntaxes.
  - Where the filling number's character string is longer than the string of '#' or '&' characters in the syntax, then the output is expanded to accommodate this.
  - The syntax is not expanded by the Sample Ident Wizard but kept in syntax form and only expanded on submit to create samples.
  - Examples:
    - ```
    ABC#DEF with numbers from 5 to 10 results in ABC5DEF, ABC6DEF... ABC10DEF on submit.
```
- ```
ABC@DEF with numbers from 5 to 10 results in ABC5DEF, ABC6DEF... ABC10DEF on submit.
```
    - ```
    SAM-##-&&-! with numbers from 1 to 2 in steps of 1 and 1 to 3 in steps of 1 results in an error being raised on submit.
```
- ```
SAM-##-&& with numbers from 1 to 2 in steps of 1 and 1 to 3 in steps of 1 results in SAM-01-01, SAM-01-02, SAM-01-03, SAM-02-01, SAM-02-02, SAM 02-03
```
- Matrix
  - A first loop of numbers is generated by replacing the first sequence of '#' or '@' characters with a zero-filled number or blank-filled number, respectively.
  - An optional second loop of numbers is generated by replacing the second sequence of '#' or '@' characters with a zero-filled number or blank-filled number, respectively.
  - The presence of a third or subsequent sequence of '&' or '@' characters are treated as text.
  - The presence of a '&' or '!' character is treated as text.
  - Where the filling number's character string is longer than the string of '#' or '@' characters in the syntax, then the output is expanded to accommodate this.
  - The syntax is expanded by the Sample Ident Wizard to create individual template-less syntaxes in the left-hand pane of the Sample Ident Wizard, one output per row.
  - Examples:
    - ```
    ABC#DEF with numbers from 5 to 10 results in ABC5DEF, ABC6DEF... ABC10DEF in the left-hand pane of the Sample Ident Wizard.
```
- ```
ABC@DEF with numbers from 5 to 10 results in ABC5DEF, ABC6DEF... ABC10DEF in the left-hand pane of the Sample Ident Wizard.
```
    - ```
    SAM-##-! with numbers from 1 to 2 in steps of 1 and 1 to 3 in steps of 1 results in SAM-01-!, SAM-02-! in the left-hand pane of the Sample Ident Wizard.
```
- ```
Note:
```
    - ```
    SAM-##-@@-### with numbers from 1 to 2 in steps of 1 and 1 to 3 in steps of 1 results in SAM-01- 1-###, SAM-02- 2-###, SAM-01- 2-###, SAM-02 -3-### in the left-hand pane of the Sample Ident Wizard.
```
Start/Outer Loop Start/First Loop Start

Determines the number of outputs this syntax generates. The value must be an integer greater than 0, and defaults to1. Where:
- Stepped—This is the starting number for the stepped loop.
- DualStepped—This is the starting number for the outer loop.
- Matrix—This is the starting number for the first loop.
End/Outer Loop End/FIrst Loop End

Determines the number of outputs this syntax generates. The value must be an integer greater than 0. Where:
- Stepped—This is the ending number for the stepped loop.
- DualStepped—This is the ending number for the outer loop.
- Matrix—This is the ending number for the second loop.
Step/Outer Loop Step/First Loop Step

Determines the number of outputs this syntax generates. The value must be greater than 0, and defaults to 1. Where:
- Stepped—This is the step for the stepped loop.
- DualStepped—This is the step for the outer loop.
- Matrix—This is the step for the first loop.
Inner Loop Start/Second Loop Start

Determines the number of outputs this syntax generates. The value must be an integer greater than 0, and defaults to 1. Where:
- DualStepped—This is the starting number for the inner loop.
- Matrix—This is the starting number for the second loop.
Inner Loop End/Second Loop End

Determines the number of outputs this syntax generates. The value must be an integer greater than 0. Where:
- DualStepped—This is the ending number for the inner loop.
- Matrix—This is the ending number for the second loop.
Inner Loop Step/Second Loop Step

Determines the number of outputs this syntax generates. The value must be an integer greater than 0, and defaults to 1. Where:
- DualStepped—This is the step for the inner loop.
- Matrix—This is the step for the second loop.
Block

A multi-lined free-text field and determines the number of outputs generated by the syntax by substituting the ! in the template with the content from each line. Blank lines are ignored.
```
Count=Int((End-Start)/Step)*NumberOfLinesInTheBlock
```
Total Sample Count

The system's 'best guess' of the count of samples that is kept up to date with the changes on the multi-line text field.
