Runtime Options

The Runtime Options page provides advanced configuration options.

Starting Options

The check boxes in the Starting Options section allow:

  • an option to auto-create a despatch and determine whether a user can modify the option
  • an option to select a file format and whether a user can modify the option
  • an option to display the auto-detect file format option and whether the user can turn it on and off
  • an option to show buffered receipts

Auto despatch

If a manual despatch was not carried out and then you receipt the lab file without ‘auto-despatch' selected, the receipt opens with an empty 'Analyses Requested' pane. This is because a despatch was never created. A message in the pane states there are no requested analyses:

If this occurs cancel the receipt and run it again with ‘auto-despatch’ selected; or if the option is not available to you, manually process the despatch then run the receipt again.

To make a receipt result unique when the lab job number is the same, you can give each result a unique (Preliminary 1, Preliminary 2, or Final) receipt status:

These status lookup codes are setup in Metadata:

Duplicate headers are detected during the processing of a receipt. A second occurrence of Zn, for example, which has been included in an assay results file, but without the proper naming convention Zn1, is treated as a lab repeat.

Completion Options

The Completion Options section of the tab contains options which allow Runtime to:

  • Only be completed without errors

  • Only be completed if there are no warnings

  • Only be allowed for a selected QAQC status
