Cloud export settings

The following settings can be configured by opening the settings menu in the top right of the connector and selecting Cloud export settings:

  1. Cloud export location: If you would like for results to be automatically exported to the cloud once a sample analysis completes, you must first configure a location into which the results should be exported. The organization of files in the configured export location will match the organization of results shown in the connector.
  2. File extension filter: If you are only interested in exporting certain file types to the cloud, you can enter a comma-separated list of the file types you wish to export (e.g. "vcf, bam, pdf"). When the Enable file extension filter checkbox is enabled, any file types that are not in the list will be ignored when exporting results.

    Note: Results from sample analyses are automatically removed after a retention period of 15 days. It is the responsibility of the user to export and store copies of any result files they wish to keep.

  3. Cloud export completion file: A setting that can be enabled to create a file in the exported results folder for a given analysis when export of results has completed. The presence of this file can be used by internal systems to trigger downstream processes. The name of the completion file is configurable.

    Note: The cloud export completion file is only created after completion of a sample analysis has triggered automated export of results. It is not created after manually triggered cloud exports.
