To add a value for an object
1. On the Geneticist Assistant main menu, click File > Add/Edit Objects.
The Add/Edit Objects dialog box opens.
2. On the Object dropdown list, select the object for which you are adding a value.
If the selected object has default values, or custom values have already been added for the selected object, then these values are displayed in the Current Values pane.
3. In the Value field, enter the value for the object, and then click Add.
 | The value can have a maximum of 255 characters. Spaces and special characters are allowed. |
The newly added value is displayed in the Current Values pane.
4. Do one of the following:
• If you did not add a new pathogenicity value, then go to Step 5.
• If you added a new pathogenicity value, then to correctly order the pathogenicity values from least severe to most severe, select a value in the Current Values pane, and then click Move Up or Move Down as needed. Go to Step 5.
| | If you add a value for pathogenicity, then you can also specify a highlighting color for variants of this type in all the variant panes and sub-tabs. See To specify the highlighting colors for variants of a pathogenicity. |
5. Click OK.
The message “Saving new objects” is displayed on the Add/Edit Objects dialog box. The dialog box closes after the value is added successfully.
