# Sample Sheet Creation in BaseSpace Run Planning tool

## How to Create TSO 500 Sample Sheets in BaseSpace Run Planning tool

The BaseSpace Sequence Hub Run Planning tool is available and is used to generate a valid sample sheet in v2 format for use on a TSO 500 supported sequencer for both ICA and Standalone DRAGEN Server analysis options. Filling out the form on the user interface will produce a exportable sample sheet with the required fields filled in. Refer to[ ICA Auto-launch Sample Sheet Requirements](https://help.connected.illumina.com/tso500/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/sample-sheet-requirements#ica-with-auto-launch-sample-sheet-requirements) for descriptions of fields that appear in ICA sample sheets.

The sections below represent each step in the BaseSpace Run Planning tool.

#### Step 1: Run Settings

<table><thead><tr><th width="194">Parameter Name</th><th width="205">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Run Name</td><td>Required</td><td>Run Name can contain 255 alphanumeric characters, dashes, underscores, periods, and spaces; and must start with an alphanumeric, a dash or an underscore.</td></tr><tr><td>Run Description</td><td>Optional</td><td>Run Description can contain 255 characters except square brackets, asterisks, and commas.</td></tr><tr><td>Instrument Platform</td><td>Required</td><td><p>Choose from TSO 500 supported instruments:</p><ul><li>NextSeq 500/550</li><li>NovaSeq 6000/6000Dx</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Secondary Analysis</td><td>Required</td><td><ul><li>BaseSpace/Illumina Connected Analytics (to generate sample sheet for cloud analysis)</li><li>Local</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Sample Container ID</td><td>Optional</td><td><ul><li>Unique Identifier for the container that holds the sample</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Step 2: Configuration

<table><thead><tr><th width="197">Parameter Name</th><th width="207">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Application</td><td>Required</td><td><ul><li>DRAGEN TruSight Oncology 500 Analysis Software - 2.5.x (with HRD)</li><li>DRAGEN TruSight Oncology 500 Analysis Software - 2.5.x</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td>Optional</td><td>Optional text field</td></tr><tr><td>Library Prep Kit</td><td>Required</td><td><ul><li>TruSight Oncology 500</li><li>TruSight Oncology 500 High Throughput</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Index Adapter Kit</td><td>Required</td><td><p>TSO 500:</p><ul><li>TruSight Oncology 500 (NovaSeq 6000Dx, NovaSeq X, NextSeq 1000/2000)</li><li>TruSight Oncology 500 (NovaSeq 6000, NextSeq 550)</li></ul><p>TSO 500 HT:</p><ul><li>TruSight Oncology 500 (NovaSeq 6000Dx, NovaSeq X, NextSeq1000/2000)</li><li>TruSight Oncology 500 (NovaSeq 6000, NextSeq 550)</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Step 3: Sample Settings

Users can manually enter sample information, or download a template file to bulk upload sample information. Users can import the completed template or a compatible sample sheet.

<table><thead><tr><th width="197">Parameter Name</th><th width="218">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Read Lengths: Read 1 and Read 2</td><td>Required</td><td>Auto filled with the standard values, but can be optionally overwritten.</td></tr><tr><td>Lane Usage</td><td>Optional</td><td>Checkbox allows users to apply the same lane across samples.</td></tr><tr><td>Lane</td><td>Required if Lane Usage is unchecked</td><td>Specify lanes for each sample. The unmarked checkbox at the top of the dropdown selects all lanes.</td></tr><tr><td>Pair ID</td><td>Required</td><td><p>The identifier used to pair DNA and RNA samples in a run. The field is mandatory whether a sample is part of a pair, or not.</p><p>To note: The Sample ID field in the generated samplesheet will be auto-filled based on the Pair ID values captured. “_dna” and “_rna” (for DNA and RNA samples respectively) will be appended to the Pair ID value to create the Sample ID.</p></td></tr><tr><td>DNA Index ID</td><td>Required</td><td>Index set ID options are based on selected Index Adapter Kit</td></tr><tr><td>DNA Sample Feature</td><td>Required for TSO 500 HRD</td><td>Column appears when TSO 500 HRD application is selected. Enter for HRD enriched DNA Samples</td></tr><tr><td>RNA Index ID</td><td>Required</td><td>Index set ID options are based on selected Index Adapter Kit</td></tr><tr><td>Project</td><td>Optional</td><td>Optional field to describe the associated project</td></tr><tr><td>Starts from Fastq</td><td>Required</td><td><p>True or False</p><p>If auto-launching TSO 500 from BCL files, set the value to False.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Step 4: Run Review

Once all details are captured and pass validation, the user can review the details on the Run Review screen. From here they can choose to edit details in previous screens or export the sample sheet. Once completed, press the Cancel button to finish run planning.

**Note**: once leaving this screen, the run and sample sheet will not be accessible.
