Copy a Panorama QC Folder

Users can copy a Panorama QC folder to a new location, either on the same server or on a different one, preserving all QC and System Suitability data to demonstrate that the instrumentation was performing well and the experimental data is trustworthy. To make the copy, you can export to an archive and reimport to another server of the same (or higher) version. All the metrics, view settings, and annotations related to Panorama QC folders are included, including but not limited to:

• Guide sets and exclusions
• Annotations and QC annotation types
• Custom metrics and trace metrics, with their configurations and settings
• Default view settings for QC plots
