The CLI in general allows many aspects of Project setup and management to be accomplished in a higher throughput manner than manipulating Projects via the GUI, where you must usually deal with elements on an individual basis. This can be especially useful in environments where large Amplicon Projects are carried out; or where Projects are carried out in large numbers, yet need to be kept strictly controlled and separate (e.g. if you are a sequencing service provider). More specifically, the CLI was primarily developed to meet four major needs: Data Import, Data Export, Automating the Triggering of Computations, and Result Reporting.
