To enter or edit a custom user call
You can enter or edit a custom user call for any allele in the STR Results Table pane; however, you typically use this feature to enter a custom user call for an allele with a Filter Status of Flagged.
1. For an allele with a Filter Status of Flagged, double-click the User Call.
The Edit User Call dialog box opens. If this is the first time that you are entering a user call for the allele, then the dialog box is blank; otherwise, the dialog box displays the current value for the user call.
2. Enter a new custom user call, or edit the current custom user call, and then click OK.
The Edit User Call dialog box closes. The custom user call is now displayed in the User Call field. Initially, it is highlighted in the color that is specified for “Flagged” for the STR Viewer, with the default value being a golden yellow. After you click out of the cell, the cell is highlighted in the color that is specified for “Called” for the STR viewer, with the default color being a light green.
 | You can edit the color specified for Flagged, Called, or both in the STR Viewer. See To edit the STR Analysis viewer highlighting colors.. |
3. Optionally, you can now enter a comment/explanation in support of this custom user call. See To enter comments for a result in the STR Results Table pane.
