3. GS Sequencer : 3.7 Other Features and Functions : 3.7.2 Configuration Button
3.7.2
Configuration Button
Configuration allows Operators and Run Groups to be added to, modified in, or deleted from the GS Sequencer Operator and Run Group lists.
Operator IDs are used to track ownership of all procedures performed on the GS FLX+ Instrument. They are included in the Run directory names, and are used to e-mail the Operator upon completion of the sequencing Run. E-mail notification is not enabled by default. See the GS FLX+ System SysAdmin Guide for details on enabling e-mail notification.
Run Groups are included as Run parameters. They are not utilized directly by the 454 Sequencing System software, but may be used by LIMS and related data management applications.
Clicking on the ‘Config’ button (Figure 31) launches the configuration tool (Figure 32).

The Configuration dialog has two tabs; the ‘Operators’ tab and the ‘Run Groups’ tab. Each tab contains two sections; on the left is a list of current Operators or Run Groups, and on the right is an editable form associated with the selected list item. Fields marked with an asterisk are required for definition of a new Operator or Run Group. (Figure 32). A pair of buttons on the left of each tab (“+” and “-“) are used to add or delete and entry from the lists.
