Change run metadata
Restart or reanalyze your run for analysis-related changes to take effect. Changes to the sample name and to the notes take effect immediately.
When you change the metadata, you change the information in the run database. Because the analysis pipeline is initialized with the run database information at the time that an analysis starts, changing metadata does not affect an analysis that is in progress. For a running analysis, you must terminate the run and start analysis manually. For a completed analysis, you must reanalyze the run. The run report (in the Completed Runs & Reports tab) always shows the metadata in effect for the run. If your changes are not shown in the run report, the changes were not in place at the time the report was generated. If you add or change an entry in the Notes field, that note does not appear in the run report unless you restart or reanalyze the run (although the note does not affect the analysis results).
