Batches
Repeated analyses, grouped into one run.
A batch runs one supported tool across several experiments. Each experiment creates a job, and the batch groups those jobs so you can follow progress and retrieve results together. Use a workflow to connect different analyses.
Choose an input method
You can create a batch using the tool's regular inputs or a spreadsheet:
- Regular inputs: Add sequences, structures or other supported data in the form. The tool determines whether records run individually, together or in combinations.
- CSV: Describe complete jobs in rows. Use CSV batches for named complexes, explicit file pairings or settings that vary between jobs.
One uploaded file does not always mean one job. An alignment can contain many sequences that belong together. Two input lists can produce many combinations.
Credits and limits
Review the planned job count and credit estimate before submitting. Each job uses workspace credits, and the usual tool and plan limits apply. Repeated rows remain separate jobs and each has its normal cost.
A batch supports up to 250 jobs. Large inputs or many distinct settings can reach batch limits sooner. Grouped runs follow the workflow credit checks, including pauses when credits prevent further execution.
Inspect results
Open a run from Batches to see its status, credits, start and completion times, and jobs. Open a job for its complete output or error. Download all retrieves available run files.
A batch can contain both successful and failed jobs. Check their individual states before treating the whole run as successful. Start a new batch when you want to analyze revised inputs or settings.
