Importing an adapter list

It is possible to import a trim adapter list from an Excel or CSV file, using the Standard import with either the Automatic Import option, or the Force Import as Type: Trim Adapter List option.

To import a trim adapter list, the names of all adapters must be unique - the workbench is unable to accept files with multiple rows containing the same adapter name. The file must also include the following information: Name, Sequence, Reads, When an adapter is found, For reads without adapters, Alignment score

For CSV file, the text between each comma that designates a new column should be quoted, as shown in figure 21.12:
