Orders & Samples

Orders are the central workflow unit in SeqDesk. Each order groups one or more samples for a sequencing request, tracks status from draft through completion, and links to sequencing files and downstream analysis.

Creating OrdersNew order form, required fields, sequencing tech selection, and draft mode.Order LifecycleStatus transitions from DRAFT to COMPLETED, approvals, and status notes.Samples & MetadataAdding samples, MIxS checklists, field templates, and bulk editing.Organism & TaxonomyNCBI taxonomy lookup, taxId assignment, and metagenome identifiers.Sequencing RunsRun metadata, QC metrics, MultiQC reports, and linking reads.
