Task Report Overview

A Task Report is a printable report that provides details of the samples and reagents of a task. The report is divided into three sections, the header, the current location and the new location (see Figure 19.6). The header contains task-level details such as the task identifier, the report creator’s username, the protocol type, and the protocol version. The current location section lists the locations of the samples and reagents used by the task, and the new location section specifies the required volumes of those samples and reagents, as well as where those volumes should be positioned.

Note:

Depending on the settings of the Task Report Viewer (See The Task Report Viewer ) reagents that are present in each well of the task may be removed from the samples and reagents list and placed in a Master Mix group in the header section.
Use the Task Report when performing work manually and use the options of the Export split-button in the Task Samples group when using robotics.
