Run properties data entry form. This image shows an example of a data entry page for run metadata provided to the user as part of the run import process. It illustrates how pre-set defaults and lookups defined in an assay design (such as the one shown in Figure 3) can ease and standardize data entry during run import. Here, the Isotype field shows a default of IgA and provides a drop-down list of other options. Both the default and list of options were configured in the assay design shown in Figure 4. The use of a standardized vocabulary for data entry makes it easier and more accurate to aggregate, filter and report on the information entered. The use of default values can speed data entry when the same values apply to many runs.
