Microbial template workflows

Template workflows are provided as example workflows. They can be launched as they are from the Toolbox, or copies can be easily opened, allowing you to optimize the workflow to fit your specific application.

To open a template workflow to view the design or edit it, you can:

• Right-click on the workflow name in the Toolbox in the lower, left side of the Workbench under:

          Toolbox | Template Workflows

  and select the option Open Copy of Workflow from the right-click menu.

  or

• Open the Workflow Manager by clicking on the Workflows button () in the top toolbar, and choose Manage Workflows.

  Click on the Template Workflows tab and then select the workflow you wish to edit. Then click on the Open Copy of Workflow button.

For an introduction to workflows and information on how to configure workflow elements, see https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=Workflows.html.

In the following sections, we describe the template workflows distributed with CLC Microbial Genomics Module.
