Specify output format and location

Many of the Templates panel and Toolkit panel items require you to choose a filename and location for output data.

• Press the Save Results As button to select a location to save the file. Alternatively, you may type a path and filename into the text box on the right. A third way to designate the “Save Results As” name is by double-clicking on the title bar.

*Notes:

About the default file location: If a location is not specified, the file will be stored in the default output directory, which is your home directory.

About the use of quotation marks in paths: If you are using the Text view, double-quotes should be used around all paths, whether in settings or sequence expressions. Double-quotes inside of paths, however, are not supported. When using the Visual view, use paths that do not contain double-quotes. Also, for File Pattern specification, single-quotes must be used to distinguish file patterns from individual file paths, which are double-quoted.

• Use the Format drop-down menu to select the format in which you wish to save the file.

• If a file with the same “Save Results As” name and location already exists, checking append to file will append the output to the existing file rather than overwriting it.
