Dashboard at a glance

Use the Dashboard to see active and recent sequencing runs. The Dashboard provides an overview of activity on all connected sequencers. To view the Dashboard, click the Home tab, then click Dashboard.

The Summary section includes:

• The Software column shows information and messages about the software. The software version link opens the Releases screen, where you can click Update to update your software when new versions are released, and scroll down to a list of links that contain support information. A message is shown with a link to change the password, if the password for the user account does not meet the recommended security policy.

• Instruments column—Shows the number of instruments that are connected or offline, and those that have alerts.

• Services links—Report statuses, such as services that are running, nodes that are down, and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage statuses. Click a link to see details on the Services screen.

• Data Management links—Reports disk usage and data management activity. Click a link to see details on the Data Management screen.

• Stop Refresh stops the auto refresh function, which occurs every 30 seconds by default. Stop the auto refresh function to review the screen without interruption from the refresh cycle.

The Runs section shows information that is available through the Data, Plan, and Monitor tabs; however, it is a subset of only the most recent information. The Runs section includes:

• Run Name link—Takes you to the name of the run or the run report.

  The link is not functional until the run report is completed.

• Samples information icon—Shows names of and information about barcodes for samples.

• The third column shows the stage of the run, with the date that the run information was either last updated or completed.

• The fourth column shows the progress of sequencing runs and plugin use. Blue circles denote normal progress and red circles denote sequencing or plugin errors.

• The fifth column provides links to thumbnail reports and run reports. If an error appears in red under a run report, see Troubleshoot Torrent Suite Software or contact Technical Support.

  • The Run Report links to completed run reports for the time interval selected. The link becomes active when the run report is complete.

  • The Thumbnail Report is an early run report that helps you determine the quality of a run that is in progress.

• The Activity list allows you to select a time interval for viewing sequencer activity. Choices include: Last Hour, Today, Last 24 Hours, and Last 7 days.

The Instruments section shows the instruments that are connected to the system and their operational status, which may include:

• Connected—Instruments that are connected but status is unknown.

• Analyzing—Instruments that are currently in use.

• Cleaning—Instruments that are currently undergoing a cleaning process.

• Idle—Instruments that are connected, but not currently in use.

• Offline—Instruments that are no longer connected. These instruments are shown when run reports for runs on these instruments exist in Torrent Suite™ Software.

If an instrument has an operational error, hover over the Alert to see details. Then, resolve the issue on the sequencer.
