Run Values

The Run Values section includes KeyName and Value columns that contain metadata for historical or analysis purposes. The metadata are run-level key-value pairs, which the software transfers with the run but does not add to a database or otherwise track. If you include a duplicate key, the last recorded value is used.

Columns​

ColumnValue
KeyNameA key name consisting of 1–64 alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. The key name defines the key-value of the metadata pairs.
ValueA value consisting of 0–255 ASCII characters. The value is a variable that belongs to the key.

Reserved Keys​

The KeyName column can include the following key with associated values. Bases2Fastq reserves key-value pairs for special purpose data.

KeyValue
ExternalIDAn external identifier to associate with the run
