For both templates and planned runs, you start the wizard from the Plan > Templates page. The steps to start the wizard depend on whether you want to create a planned run from generic application template or an existing template, or create a template from generic application template or an existing template.

How you start the wizard is important, especially if your sequencing workflow uses common sequencing products. Pre-installed templates are available for these common sequencing products:

• Ion AmpliSeq™ Cancer Hotspot Panel v2.0

• Ion AmpliSeq™ Comprehensive Cancer Panel

• Ion AmpliSeq™ Inherited Disease Panel

• Ion AmpliSeq™ Cancer Panel

• Ion AmpliSeq™ Any Genome Panel

If you start with a pre-install product template, your new template or planned run has the correct settings for the product.
