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
| Column | Constraints | Description | Allowed Values |
|---|---|---|---|
KeyName | Required | The key name defines the key-value of the metadata pair. | 1–64 alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores |
Value | Required | A variable that belongs to the key. | 0–255 ASCII characters |
Reserved Keys
The KeyName column can include the following key with associated values. Bases2Fastq reserves key-value pairs for special purpose data.
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
ExternalID | An external identifier to associate with the run |
