Main window tabs
When the Geneticist Assistant main window first opens, two tabs— Runs and Current Jobs—are displayed in the window. The Runs tab is the open tab. A run refers to loading a BAM file and a VCF file or just a VCF file into Geneticist Assistant for the purposes of importing a list of variants into the Geneticist Assistant database and/or reviewing a list of variants. The Runs tab has a single pane—the Runs pane.
• If you are an Administrator user, then the Runs pane can display all the runs submitted by all users to your Geneticist Assistant database. By default, when the tab first opens, only the 30 most recently submitted runs are displayed and the runs are sorted based on the Run ID. You can limit the runs that are displayed by number and/or by a time and date range and you can also change the sort order of the data.
• If you are a standard user, then the Runs pane can display all the runs that you have submitted to your Geneticist Assistant database as well as all the runs that have been submitted by other users and for which you have been granted at least the Can Read permission. By default, when the tab first opens, only the 30 most recently added runs that fit one of these two criteria are displayed and the runs are sorted based on the Run ID. You can limit the runs that are displayed by number and/or by a time and date range and you can also change the sort order of the data.
 | If you close the Runs tab, you can open it again from the Geneticist Assistant main menu: File > Runs. |
The Current Jobs tab displays the progress of a run, or any other process that is currently being carried out in Geneticist Assistant. The tab opens automatically after a run is started. After the run is successfully completed (a BAM and a VCF file are loaded and read, or a VCF file is loaded and read), the Current Jobs tab is cleared and remains blank. Other tabs are available in the display area of the Geneticist Assistant main window depending on the actions that you carry out.
With the exception of the Current Jobs tab, every tab in Geneticist Assistant has at least one pane. The different panes display different information. Data is displayed in columns in the tab panes. A variety of options are available for setting preferences for the tab display and the data column display. See Setting Display Preferences in the Geneticist Assistant Main Window.
