Superposition of screenshots of the main page of the sequencing administrator interface. The information in yellow tooltips is displayed only when the user mouses over the order (top page) or the run (bottom page). In the case of the order, the number of samples in the order and the name of the person who submitted the order is displayed in the tooltip. In the case of the run, the list of the orders that the run contains is displayed as well as the reaction (R.Control) and instrument (I.Control) controls if there are any. Green arrows emphasise the workflow, the orders from the top left (1), are grouped into the planned runs (2), then, the planned runs, progress to awaiting results runs (3), and finally upon uploading the results, the runs become complete (4). Numbers 1 to 4 as well as the blue arrows have been added manually to the screenshot for the illustration. The box entitled "History" displays the links to recent actions. The box "Search sequencing orders" is for searching the orders that are too old to be displayed in the completed run box. Finally, the sequence management box contains a collection of most frequently used action links.
