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.
