3.1.1
Data Import
In the GUI, you add Project objects one at a time; fully specifying objects like Reference Sequences and Amplicons can involve a lot of cutting and pasting. This is manageable for Projects where the number of Amplicons to be measured is small, but for more complex Projects, Project setup via the GUI can be taxing. The CLI remedies this situation by providing the ability to create Project objects via properly formatted tabular input information (see section
3.3.2.3
for more details on tabular input options). This means that files of Reference Sequences and Amplicons,
e.g.
provided by a client or perhaps generated from an in-house database, could be imported in bulk into the Project using “create” commands with the files as input (see section
3.4.4
for the create usage statement).
