User-defined automation can add assertions from your knowledge base and/or other knowledge bases automatically to a draft report.

Automation only applies to cases using a test definitions with automation turned on during case ingestion. Cases that were ingested before automation was turned on will not have assertions automatically added to their reports.

Automated assertions can be added for all types of variants with assertions in the supported knowledge bases, including the genome-wide biomarkers TMB, MSI, and GIS. Automation configuration settings determine which biomarkers are included in automation and which assertions for those biomarkers are added to the report.

You can also edit or remove assertions that were automatically added before approving a report. For more information, refer to Edit, Remove, and Archive Assertions.

Prerequisites

Before enabling automation, make sure that the following information is set up:

• Key genes and TMB, MSI, and GIS thresholds to limit reporting to certain biomarker scores. For more information, refer to Disease Configuration.

• Preferred transcripts to limit reporting to preferred transcripts. For more information, refer to Preferred Transcripts.

• Default filters to limit the variants being reported. For more information on creating variant filters and adding them as default filters in a test definition, refer to Variant Filters and Test Definition Setup.

Variant Selection

Select either of the following sets of variants to be reported:

• Variants that appear in a default filter and key genes (i.e., Key Findings of the Overview page).

• Variants that appear in a default filter.

The following are not reported:

• Any variant with a likely benign, benign, or likely neutral biological classification in a knowledge base (including My Knowledge Base and ClinVar).

• Any variant with no biological classification in any knowledge base (including My Knowledge Base and ClinVar), and biological classification predicted by the Oncogenicity Prediction tool is VUS, likely benign, or benign.

• TMB, MSI, and GIS with an unknown status.

Max number of variants eligible for reporting:

• If variant selection is Variants that appear in default filter and key genes, only the first 70 variants with assertions in your default filters that are in key genes are eligible for reporting.

• If variant selection is Variants that appear in default filter, only the first 70 variants with assertions in your default filters are eligible for reporting.

Knowledge Base Selection

You can select KBs you want to report assertions from. The following KBs are selectable:

• My Knowledge Base

• JAX-CKB

• CIViC

• OncoKB

You can also reorder KBs to prioritize assertions. Select and hold the icon to the left of the KB and move it up or down to reorder the KB list. Connected Insights uses the following information to prioritize which KB is used to report findings:

• Order in the KB list (for example, if you move My Knowledge Base above JAX-CKB in the KB list, then My Knowledge Base is prioritized)

• Case disease and assertion disease match (for example, if JAX-CKB is below My Knowledge Base in the KB list, but the case disease matches the JAX-CKB assertion disease, then JAX-CKB is prioritized)

Upload Data from Illumina Connected Analytics with API

Use an API to upload data to Connected Insights - Cloud. For more information, refer to Ingest Cloud Analysis Data API (Connected Insights - Cloud Only).

Connected Insights accepts metadata information about case, subject, and the sample in CSV format to use it for the case creation, display, and reporting.

Overview of uploading custom case data. Each step is further detailed below:

1. Download the Case Metadata template file from the Connected Insights Cases page.

2. Edit the Case Metadata template file to include the desired data.

3. Upload the Case Metadata file via the Connected Insights user-interface, Data Uploader, or API.

Download the Case Metadata template file

Download the Case Metadata template file from Connected Insights:

1. Navigate to the Connected Insights Cases page.

2. Select Upload Case Metadata (top-right corner of the page).

3. Select Upload CSV.

4. Click attached template to download the Case Metadata template CSV file.

❗ Starting from the template can help guide formatting, however, any CSV file that follows the content formatting requirements detailed below can be used to upload case metadata. Files containing non-English characters must be encoded as UTF-8.

Edit the Case Metadata file

Edit the case metadata file to add and correctly format the desired information. See the example at the bottom of this subsection:

1. Open the CSV file with software capable of editing CSV files (for example, a text editor; if using Excel, be cautious of potential unexpected formatting and character additions).

2. Ensure the following formatting requirements are met:

   • The first row must contain the headers of the fields to be updated. Each subsequent row contains data.

   • Each row must contain information in the Sample_ID and Case_ID columns. Sample_ID values are case-sensitive.

   • Fields that require a date must be in yyyy-mm-dd format.

   • Tumor_Type values must be the SNOMEDCT ID for the disease.

     • The SNOMEDCT ID can be found by navigating to an existing case and searching for the disease in the Case Details or assertion form. It can also be found by navigating to the Configuration page, Disease Configuration section, clicking New +, then searching in Associated Disease Term(s). Lastly, the ID can also be found by using the International Edition browser at the SNOMED International SNOMED CT Browser website.

     • When the tumor type is unknown, SNOMETCT ID 363346000 ("Malignant neoplastic disease") or 255052006 ("Malignant tumor of unknown origin") can be used. However, the accuracy of actionability will be higher the more specific the tumor type provided is.

   • All other columns must follow formatting requirements specified in the Case Metadata template file.

   • Data in columns for fields defined in the Custom Case Data Definition section of the Configuration page must match the formatting requirements based on whether the data type is text, a number, or a date (for details, refer to Custom Case Data Definition).

3. Once all rows are added, save.

Refer to the following formatting example:

Sample_ID,Case_ID,Sample_Type,Tumor_Type,Date of Birth,Example Case Meta,Example Subject Meta,Example Sample Meta
SampleId1,Case001,DNA,707405009,2011-01-21,Case Data 01,Subject Data 01,Sample Data 01
SampleId2,Case001,RNA,707405009,2011-01-21,Case Data 01,Subject Data 01,Sample Data 02
SampleId3,Case002,DNA,707405009,2012-02-22,Case Data 02,Subject Data 02,Sample Data 03

Upload Case Metadata files

Case metadata can be uploaded in three ways. See below for instructions on each method:

• Upload from local storage via Connected Insights user-interface.

• Upload from local storage via the Data Uploader.

• Upload from local storage via an API.

Upload Case Metadata files via the Connected Insights user-interface

1. Navigate to the Connected Insights Cases page.

2. Select Upload Case Metadata (top-right corner of the page).

3. Select Upload CSV.

4. Upload the file.

Upload Case Metadata files via the Data Uploader

1. Install the Data Uploader in a location with access to the Case Metadata file (refer to Data Upload from User Storage). Proceed to the next step if it is already installed.

2. Ensure the Case Metadata file is in a location accessible by the Data Uploader.

3. Create a new pipeline or edit an existing pipeline and set the Choose a folder to monitor for case metadata (optional) field to the file path of the directory containing the Case Metadata file (refer to Data Upload from User Storage).

4. Next time the Data Uploader daemon runs, the file will be ingested (may be ~10-15 minutes).

Upload Case Metadata files via an API

• Refer to Case APIs, subsection "Upload Metadata files via an API".

Update existing cases or create new cases by uploading Case Metadata

Update case metadata of an existing case

To update an existing case, use the Sample_ID and Case_ID of the existing case and add updated information in additional fields. It may be useful to use an API in the Case Metadata section of the API page to retrieve the existing case metadata for a case (for details on using APIs, see APIs). The overwriting and preservation logic is as follows:

• Overwriting Logic: If data conflicts, new data will overwrite existing data. For the Tags field, new data will be added as an additional tag and will not overwrite any existing tag(s).

• Preservation Logic: Existing data will not be overwritten if the data for the field is the same as existing or no data is entered. Additionally, fields not included in the Case Metadata file will not be affected (for example, if the Case Metadata file does not include the Date of Birth field, existing data in that field will not be updated).

Create a new case by uploading a Case Metadata file

To create a new case, use a new Sample_ID and a new Case_ID and upload the Case Metadata file before ingestion of molecular data (for example, VCF files or other secondary analysis output files).

• In order for the molecular data to associate with the correct case metadata, the Sample_ID and Case_ID must match (for example, the Sample_ID value used in the Case Metadata file should match the Sample_ID value in the sample sheet).

• Cases created this way will have a Status column value of Awaiting Molecular Data and a Workflow Name column value of N/A in the Case List on the Cases page. The Status and Workflow Name will update after completely uploading molecular data.

View Case Metadata upload tracking and error messages

The Case Metadata Uploads page displays Case Metadata file upload history and error messages:

1. Navigate to the Connected Insights Cases page.

2. Select Upload Case Metadata (top-right corner of the page).

3. Select View Past Uploads.

4. The table displays Case Metadata file upload history, status, and details.

5. If errors occur, the Details column will state this and provide a link to download a copy of the Case Metadata file annotated with error messages for each row.

Audit Log APIs

Use this API to get the Audit Log information in Connected Insights. Search audit logs for cases, subjects, samples, analysis, etc.

1. On the API page, navigate to the AuditLog section.

2. Select GET /als/api/v1/auditlogs/search.

3. In the Parameters table, update the description for the following applicable parameters:

   • caseId — The displayed case ID (for example, ILM-ABC-234) or the ID for the case (for example, https://{domain}.connectedinsights.illumina.com/interpretation/{caseId}/reports/{reportId}/overview).

Case Processing Performance (Connected Insights - Local Only)

The following table shows the approximate time it takes for example datasets to upload and receive the Ready for Interpretation status. The duration is evaluated by analyzing a batch of samples ingested through the Connected Insights tertiary analysis in conjunction with the DRAGEN secondary analysis performed on similar datasets on the DRAGEN server v4.

Connected Insights directly supports the following pipelines:

Previous interpretations can be uploaded to My Knowledge Base at any time (for example, during onboarding) so you can immediately start prioritizing variants and reporting based on information from your lab.

1. Navigate to the app selector (grid icon) at the top-right of the screen and select My Knowledge Base.

2. In My Knowledge Base, under Add New Knowledge, select Add Assertions.

3. Select attached template to download the upload template.

4. Edit the template by adding values to the columns. For more information on the applicable columns and values, refer to and . To view existing assertions as examples, refer to .

5. After editing, save the file in the CSV format. The maximum permitted file size is 10 MB.

6. Upload the template file. For more information, refer to .

CSV Template

The template is in CSV format and contains the following columns:

Uploading the Template

If using Excel, make sure that no auto-formatting has occurred.

After the content has been added to the template, it can be uploaded for processing.

1. In the Add Assertions dialog, drag and drop or select the file to upload. The maximum permitted file size is 10 MB. Any initial validation errors are displayed (for example, missing required headers, incorrect file type).

2. After the file has been uploaded, view the processing status for each file by selecting View Uploads.

3. When completed, view the number of rows processed, including rows that have issues. If a file has issues, download the file and view the issues in a new error column provided in the download. Issues can be resolved in the file and re-uploaded.

Uploading Gene Descriptions

Upload gene descriptions through the CSV template used to upload assertions. To upload gene descriptions, the following fields are required:

• type (for the gene description, the value must be Gene Information)

• geneRoles

• summary

• biomarkerType

• level (for the gene description, the value must be Gene)

• genomeBuild

• geneSymbol

• nbciGeneId

Existing Assertion Entries

Assertions in the knowledge base, created either by upload or within a case, can be downloaded at any time.

1. In the My Knowledge Base screen, select Download to View.

Connected Insights imports variant calls for the following variant types in the Variant Call File (VCF) file format (v4.1 and later):

• Small variants (SNVs, MNVs, and small indels)

• Structural variants (SVs)

• Copy number variants (CNVs)

• RNA fusion variants

• RNA splice variants

❗ Imported VCF files must contain at least one sample and be sorted correctly to ensure valid display of results in Connected Insights.

The following sample fields are supported for each variant type:

Small variants

¹ The following GT values are interpreted as an absence of the reported variant and are not imported:

• .

• ./.

• 0

• 0/0

Copy number variants

¹ The following GT values are expected given the CN of the variant:

• 0: The copy number is normal in a region expected to be haploid.

• 1: The copy number differs from normal in a region expected to be haploid.

• 0/0: The copy number is normal in a region expected to be diploid.

• 0/1: The copy number differs from normal and is not a complete loss in a region expected to be diploid.

• 1/1: The copy number is a complete loss in a region expected to be diploid.

Structural variants and RNA fusion variants

¹ The following GT values are interpreted as an absence of the reported variant and are not imported:

• .

• ./.

• 0

• 0/0

After uploading secondary analysis results, use Connected Insights to set up filtering, modify table views, and manage the case through the Cases page.

The Cases page provides a quick view of the following information:

• Cases

• Case statuses

• Usage data

This page is used to track the status of cases through your lab, find cases that need attention, or start new cases.

The Cases page displays the number of cases for each case status and sub status.

• Select a status to open the Cases page with filtered results based on the status.

• Select the Cases tab to open the Cases page with all cases listed.

• Select View Storage to open the Usage page in the Illumina Analytics Platform.

Add tags to cases and edit disease information in Connected Insights. For more information, refer to .

For Connected Insights - Local, the Cases page also displays the following notifications:

• If your Genome Equivalent Sample balance is low, a notification to contact your administrator or Illumina Technical Support displays.

• If the storage space in the /staging/ or external mounted directory is below the required space threshold for case ingestion, a notification displays and ingestion stops after reaching capacity. To continue ingestion, free up space.

• If the external drive is not accessible, a notification displays and ingestion or case processing will fail. To continue, ensure the external storage drive is accessible.

Do not delete or alter content at the following locations to free up space:

• /staging/ici

• /<mountedDrive>/d53e4b2d-0428-4b3e-92bf-955f7153c360

• /<mountedDrive>/ici_<ServerHostname>/

  These locations contain Connected Insights -generated files. If these files are deleted, new cases cannot be processed or case results may not be available.
