- Run: A Run represents an execution instance of a lab automation workflow in Benchling, capturing the inputs, outputs, and metadata for a single assay or instrument operation. Runs conform to a RunSchema that defines their structure including input generators (see AutomationInputGenerator) for creating worklists and output processors (see AutomationOutputProcessor) for parsing instrument results. Runs are typically embedded in notebook entries (via the entry field) and can generate associated Analyses for data processing. Each run tracks validation status (VALID or INVALID) with optional comments, enabling quality control workflows. Runs belong to a Project for access control and can be archived when superseded or invalidated. Also known as "assay runs" in the lab automation context.
