This article describes for how to create a new result set by combining multiple result sets with OpenLab CDS (version 2.x). Creating result sets can be useful in the following scenarios:

• Combining single samples, sequences, or a combination of both that can be reprocessed with a specific method.
• Combining data from different sources in the same result set.
• Shortening a sequence. 

Before creating a combined result set, consider your company's data integrity policies and procedures.

Steps to follow:

   1. To highlight a range of injections: Click the first injection in the range, hold down the [Shift] key, then click the last injection in the range.

   2. To highlight multiple individual injections: Click the first injection, and hold down the CTRL key while clicking other injections.

4. Right click selected data and execute Add Selected Injections to New Result Set from context menu.

   

    

5. In the Processing tab, and select Create New Result Set to display the Create New Result Set dialog box.

   1. Use the arrow buttons to move injections u or down the list.
   2. Click X to remove an injection from the list.

      

   3. Click Browse to select a processing method. The Processing Method can also be selected after the New Result Set creation.

   4. Input a name for the new result set and click Create to finish.
