# Unsupported Process Types

Currently, the REST API does not support the following process types:

* Batch Gel Image Analysis Run (known at Gel Analysis Experiment in the client)
* Batch Gel Run (multiple 1D Gel Run or 2D Gel Run processes run at the same time)
* Ettan Spot Handling
* Gel 1D Run (known at 1D Gel Run in the client)
* Gel 2D Run (known at 2D Gel Run in the client)
* Gel Image Analysis Run (known as Image Annotation in the client)
* Gel Imaging Run
* Sample

  <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>When adding a sample to Clarity LIMS, the system actually sees the action of adding a sample as a process. No information pertaining to this process is made available to the user through the client. As a result, it is not supported through the REST API.</p></div>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/clarity-lims/api-and-database/api-docs/application-examples/resources-and-references/unsupported-process-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
