To use the Project Log and Project Wizard to batch process multiple project files
 | The NextGENe application provides multiple ways of working with the Project Wizard and the Project Log to create multiple project files for batch processing. For brevity and ease of use, this procedures describes only two of the available approaches above; however, you can use whatever method best suits your working needs. |
1. Create one or more projects in the Project Wizard. See one of the following:
2. Do one of the following:
• On the NextGENe main menu, click Process > Project Log Viewer.
• Open the Project Wizard, and in the upper right corner of the wizard, click Show Project Log.
The Log View window opens, populated with the settings from the current project in the Project Wizard.
3. You now have a variety of options to create multiple projects, including:
• In the Project Wizard, clicking Finish, and then on the NextGENe Projects dialog box, clicking Create More Projects and then clicking OK.
A new wizard session opens for configuring a project. Because the wizard “remembers” the settings from its last session, leave the settings as is or modify them as needed. As you create a series of projects in the Project Wizard, the Project Log is updated with multiple tabs labeled Project1, Project2, Project3, and so on, which represent the projects in the order in which you created them in the Project Wizard.
• In the Project Log, using Add Project and Duplicate as needed to create multiple projects. (See To use the Project Log to create multiple new projects.)
4. For either option, after you have created all the needed projects, do one of the following:
• Click Run to run these projects from the Project Log immediately.
• Click Save or Save As to save the projects to a NextGENe job file and run them at a later date. See To run a saved job file.
| | If you save the job file, it is saved with an .ngjob extension. |
