There are a few different ways users can leave comments in ChimerMarker including Sample Comments, Chimerism Analysis Report Comments, and Longitudinal Report Comments. Instructions for how to display each comment type are listed below.

Sample Comments

Sample comments will display below the header on the Chimerism Analysis Report and tend to be specific for an individual sample or subset of samples within the project.

  1. From the ChimerMarker main screen, right-click any sample and select Edit Comments.
  2. Type a comment in the Comments: box, then click OK to apply comment to sample.
  3. Repeat with every sample for which the comment is applicable for.

 

The below screenshot shows where the Sample Comments appear in the report, just below the report header for each sample.

 

Chimerism Analysis Report Comments (last page of report comments)

Within the Chimerism Application, the user can click Tool > Chimerism Analysis Comments to leave a comment that will display on the last page of the Chimerism Analysis Report.  These comments tend to be a summary of the case and the user has the option to include it in the report from the Print Settings window.

  1. Go to Tool -> Chimerism Analysis Comments.
  2. Type your case summary comments in comment box and click OK to add comment.

 

3. Click the printer icon and select “Analysis Comments” to include comments at the end of Chimerism Analysis report.

4. Click Preview to view report.

Longitudinal Report Comment

Also within the Chimerism application, a user can leave a comment on the Recipient Information window, which will display on the last page of the Longitudinal Report. These also tend to be summary comments about the case as a whole and the user has the option to include it on the Print Settings screen.  There are two different way to access the Recipient Information Comments that will be shown below.
