Legacy result import

Import a file

In a case's Case region, Legacy result files takes a result file you already have for the case. The file is stored with the case and its hits are listed as reported. Nothing is searched or aligned again.

• Result file: "A text file of up to 10 MB. PDF and UTF-16 files are not accepted."
• Format: Detect automatically, or one of GenCore 6, BLAST tabular (-outfmt 6), BLAST tabular with comments (-outfmt 7) and CSV or TSV. "Leave on automatic unless the file is refused as an unknown format."
• SEQ ID NO searched: "Optional. Use it only for a file with one report or one query."

Choose Import file. The same file imported twice is stored once: "This file was already imported into this case. Nothing was added."

The GenCore 6 reader follows the format's public description. It has not yet been checked against a sample from a patent office's own system.

What the import shows

The table "Imported result files, newest first" lists each file with its format and parser, its query and database, its hits, and its warnings. A file that was cut short or had an unreadable hit is marked "Partial: the file or a hit was cut or unreadable". Show every warning lists "Every warning, in file order". "Line numbers cite the stored text of the file (Show text in the Documents table)."

A file that reports a number too large to store is refused before anything is written; nothing is cut down to fit.

How imported hits are classed

• An imported hit whose identity and coverage can be read is classed E1 Aligned.
• Any other imported hit is "imported, no alignment read".
• Importing creates no search, no search manifest and no examiner report.

Imported hits are rolled up to references with the case's searches, in the References region, where they appear as "Imported result file". While imported coverage is unconfirmed, an imported hit never makes a claim feature met or not met; an imported aligned hit leaves its feature not decided.

Limits

• PDF and UTF-16 files are refused: export the result as UTF-8 text first.
• Only the case owner, or the sequence searcher who entered the case, can import. Others can read the imports.
• Imported rows are not aligned again, so they carry no stored alignment.
