Use Fill Down

Use Fill Down to automatically fill in some or all of the cells in the sequence table. Fill down options are inactive if a cell is invalid in the selected row, the selected cell is invalid, or the first cell in the selected column is invalid.

To fill down rows:

  1. Enter all required information into a row.

  2. Move to the left of the table to turn your cursor to a black arrow .

  3. To only fill down specific rows, click and drag to select a portion of the table. The row to fill down must be at the top of the selection.

  4. Right-click on the row to fill down, and select a fill down option:

    • Fill down - copy: Fill rows with the same values as the selected row.

    • Fill down - increment: Fill rows with the same values as the selected row, but the Vial, Sample name, and Data file columns will be filled sequentially by an increment of 1. The Sample name and Data file must include a token increment number for this option to be available.

To fill down columns:

  1. Select a cell in a column to fill down.
  2. Right-click and select a fill down option. The fill down applies to all cells under the selected cell.
    • Fill down - copy: Fill cells with the same values as the selected cell.
    • Fill down - increment: Fill cells in the Vial, Sample name, and Data file columns sequentially by an increment of 1. The Sample name and Data file must include a token increment number for this option to be available.

Fill down a Dual Simultaneous sequence

To fill down rows

  1. Enter all required information into a row.

  2. Move to the left of the table to turn your cursor to a black arrow .

  3. To only fill down specific rows, click and drag to select a portion of the table. The row to fill down must be at the top of the selection.

  4. Right-click on the row to fill down, and select a fill down option:

    • Fill down - copy: Fill rows with the same values as the selected row. Filling down a front injection row copy the values to all other Front injection rows, and filling down a Back injection row will copy the values to all other Back injection rows.

    • Fill down - increment: Fill rows with the same values as the selected row, but the Vial, Sample name, and Data file columns will be filled sequentially by an increment of 1. Filling down a Front injection row will fill incrementally for each Front injection row, and filling down a Back injection row will fill incrementally for each Back injection row. The Sample name and Data file must include a token increment number for this option to be available.

    • Fill down - increment serially: Fill rows with the same values as the selected row, but the Sample name, and Data file columns will be filled sequentially by an increment of 1. Cells in the Vial column will be filled sequentially by an increment of 1, independent of Front or Back injection rows. Filling down a Front injection row will fill incrementally for each Front injection row, and filling down a Back injection row will fill incrementally for each Back injection row. The Sample name and Data file must include a token increment number for this option to be available.

To fill down columns

  1. Select a cell in a column to fill down.
  2. Right-click and select a fill down option. The fill down applies to all cells under the selected cell.
    • Fill Down - copy: Fill cells with the same values as the selected cell. Filling down a Front injection value will copy the value to all other Front injection rows, and filling down a Back injection value will copy the value to all other Back injection rows.
    • Fill Down - increment: Fill cells in the Vial, Sample name, and Data file columns sequentially by an increment of 1. The Front injection values will be filled incrementally for each Front injection row, and the Back injection values will be filled incrementally for each Back injection row. The Sample name and Data file must include a token increment number for this option to be available.
    • Fill down - increment serially: Fill cells in the Vial column sequentially by an increment of 1, independent from Front or Back injection rows.
