Integrating Scripts
The BaseSpace Clarity LIMS Rapid Scripting™ API adapts lab informatics using the Clarity LIMS platform.
It is important to integrate scripting into the overall processes. Begin by identifying any areas that may require adaptation to fit the lab workflow. It also helps if users are involved in the early stages of the software system analysis process.
Most scripts in an implementation are finalized towards the end of the process, as the full impact and benefits of the new system become clear.
Take some time to become familiar with the user interface, learn how to configure the product, and work with the tools that the lab uses. Also, establish the workflows and the configuration of the system before investing in API scripts and automation.
Start with Administrator Training
New customers receive administrator-level training before working with the API.
If you are not comfortable configuring steps, custom fields, containers, etc., in Clarity LIMS, you may find the API material difficult to understand. Contact Illumina for more information on administrator training and training materials.

Defining the Lab Solution
Before committing time and resources to using the API, it is important to define what you would like to accomplish. Understanding the key outcomes, use cases, users, and constraints of the lab helps with learning the API more quickly and improves efficiency.
If you require assistance, Illumina can provide expert resources to audit and analyze the laboratory users, processes, workflows, instrumentation, data production, and environment. This careful and focused analysis results in a requirements specification that provides extensive value to the facility.
