File

This is an entry point to a submenu of commands for working with sequence files.

Icon	Command	Description
	New	Creates a new sequence and at the same time closes currently opened sequence (user is notified if there are any unsaved changes). An empty sequence table will be created with default parameter values based on the template sequence file (TEMPLATE.SEQ) saved in the common directory (C:\Clarity\DataFiles\COMMON\ in the default projects). New sequence is Active by default (or set according to the setting in TEMPLATE.SEQ). If the template sequence file does not exist in the project, the new sequence will be based on internal preset values in Clarity. The first row in a new sequence takes its settings from the Method and Report setup currently loaded to the Instrument, the Post-run information is loaded from the actual setting of the Single Analysis - Post-run Options tab. By checking the Run checkbox for further rows, the settings are copied from the previous line.
	Open	Selects and opens a sequence file. Invoking the command or using the `Ctrl` +`O` shortcut opens the Open Sequence dialog. The same particular sequence cannot be opened on multiple Instruments at once.
	Save	Saves changes in the currently opened sequence.
	Save As	The command invokes the Save As dialog similar to Open Method dialog where you can set a new name or select a different directory to save the sequence. When another file of the same name already exists, you will not be able to use this name. Also, in the protected mode , you are not allowed to change a file without the appropriate access rights (see System - User Accounts… command). Note: For existing filenames, message box about file overwriting pops up.
	Send Sequence by Email	Creates a new email in the default email client with the currently displayed sequence file attached. The sequence will automatically be saved prior to sending.
	Import…	Imports the sequence table from a text file (for more details see also chapter Import…).
	Export…	Exports a Sequence Table to a text file. Values are exported in tab delimited format, first row contains column headers. Status and hidden columns are not exported.
	Report Setup	Selects and configures the report style. The command opens the Report Setup dialog.
	Print Preview	Displays a preview of the printout prior to actual printing. The command opens the Print Preview dialog.
	Print to PDF	Prints the Sequence Table to *.PDF file.
	Send Printed PDF by Email	Opens a new email message in default email client, prints the Sequence Table to *.PDF and adds created file as an email attachment.
	Print…	Selects a printer and starts actual printing. Invoking the command opens the Print dialog.
	------	Displays the list of recently opened sequence files so it is easily possible to get to the files you are currently working with. The number of files in the list is determined by the Recent Files parameter in the User Options - General dialog available from the Instrument window by View - Options command.
	Close Window	Closes the Sequence window.
