	b. The 'Submissions' tab should be open by default.

## Logging in New Run:

4. Most of the fields in the form should be automatically filled in from the form area to the left of the screen.
5. You may need to maximize the app to ensure you can see all the info.
6. Any fields that are not automatically filled in can be filled in manually from the drop down menus.
	1. Any reagent lots not found in the drop downs can be typed in manually.
7. Once you are certain all the information is correct, click 'Submit' at the bottom of the form.
8. Add in any new reagents the app doesn't have in the database.
9. Once the new run shows up at the bottom of the Submissions, everything is fine.

## Checking Controls:

1. Controls for bacterial runs are now incorporated directly into the submissions database using webview. (Admittedly this performance is not as good as with a browser, so you will have to triage your data)
2. Click on the "Controls" tab.
3. Range of dates for controls can be selected from the date pickers at the top.
	1. If start date is set after end date, the start date will default back to 3 months before end date.
	2. Recommendation is to use less than 6 month date range keeping in mind that higher data density will affect performance (with kraken being the worst so far)
4. Analysis type and subtype can be set using the drop down menus. (Only kraken has a subtype so far).

## Adding new Kit:

1. Click "Add Kit" tab in the tab bar.
2. Select the Submission type from the drop down menu.
