Sample Lifecycle

Samples in Panomics have a predefined lifecycle.

Sample lifecycle
Status
Description

DRAFT

This is the initial status for each sample that gets imported in Panomics. Samples stay in the DRAFT status until they are sent to the Standard Compute runtime for loading.

LOADING

Samples get processed by the Standard Compute runtime. During this time, the samples have the LOADING status.

ANNOTATING

This is a checkpoint status, meaning that transitioning away from ANNOTATING requires the "mark as ready" user action. While in this status, sample metadata can be applied either by uploading a file or by editing the metadata fields through the UI.

SAVING

When marked as ready, sample data is merged with the metadata via the Standard Compute runtime.

READY

Once the metadata is successfully merged with the sample data, samples transition to the READY state and can be used to create analyses. Ready samples can be transitioned back to the ANNOTATING state by users via the "mark as annotating" action.

FAILED

Any failure during the loading or saving processes transitions the sample to the FAILED status. Failed samples can only be deleted.
