Merge single analyses

You can merge single analyses that have the status Waiting, Waiting on error, Holding.

Preparations

  • To be able to carry out the procedure as described, you need the privilege Merge / Split analysis (Sample Scheduler). Privileges are configured in the Control Panel (role type Administrative, section Sample Scheduler).

  1. In the Analyses view, select the two analysis you want to merge.

    NOTE

    Both analyses must have the same instrument, the same project, the same LIMS connection, and the same schedulable analysis state. The assigned instrument must support dual simultaneous injections.

    The Merge button in the header will be enabled. If your screen size is too small, you can find the button in the context menu of the header.

  2. Click or tap Merge.

    NOTE

    In order to successfully merge analyses within a project, certain parameter settings must be provided. Warnings are displayed when parameter values can be adjusted automatically. For details on the resolution for the contradictory parameter settings (for example, injection source, user, result name), refer to Conflict resolution.

    The single analyses are merged into a dual analysis. The values from the single analyses are retained for the dual analysis.

    The following applies to the LIMS connection of the dual analysis: You cannot edit the assigned LIMS connection if one of the single analyses was submitted by the LIMS.

    The dual analysis is automatically selected in the Analyses view.

     

Conflict resolution

Several criteria have to be fulfilled to allow a successful merge within a project. Warnings are displayed when they can be automatically adjusted. Conflict resolutions are offered for some cases.

  • Matching instrument

    Analyses can only be merged if they use the same instrument. If they do not match, the Merge button is disabled. You must correct the instrument entry manually.

  • Matching acquisition method

    Analyses can only be merged if they use the same acquisition method. If they do not match, click OK in the conflict resolution dialog to use the method of the front sample also for the back sample.

  • Matching users

    Analyses can only be merged if they are both assigned to the same user or if both are unassigned. If they do not match, click OK in the conflict resolution dialog to specify that the dual analysis is unassigned.

  • Matching result name

    Analyses can only be merged if they use both the same result name. If you use the tokens Sample name, Proc. method, Vial, LIMS IDi [i=1 to 3], Sample Custom Parameters in the result name, the defined tokens (not their values) of the front and back sample injection must match. If they do not match, click OK in the conflict resolution dialog to set the result name to the default name defined in the configuration.

  • Matching result path

    Analyses can only be merged if they use both the same result path. If they do not match, click OK in the conflict resolution dialog to set the result path to the default path defined in the configuration.

  • Different injection sources

    Analyses can only be merged if they use different injection sources. If they are the same, click OK in the conflict resolution dialog to set the first line to the Front/Valve 1 location, and the second line to the Back/Valve 2 location. Click Cancel to resolve the settings manually.
