Typically you copy a product template and customize the new template with your choices for project organization and data export handling. Then you reuse your new template to create many planned runs, as needed. Each run plan has the correct settings (from the original template). Or you can edit your template when experimental or data handling changes are required.

A planned run performs template preparation on the Ion Chef™ instrument, executes sequencing on your Ion sequencing instrument, and automates your decisions for post-sequencing data analysis and data management.
