Composite Operation

Groups a set of steps and claims every resource they need before the sequence starts, so that the run does not stall part way through waiting for a device. Useful for time critical work, and for improving throughput.

Parameter	Type	Description
Priority	int	Scheduling priority for this sequence relative to other work competing for the same devices.
Incremental Claiming	bool	When set, resources are claimed as the sequence reaches them rather than all before it starts. That weakens the guarantee against mid-sequence waits, but stops the sequence holding devices it does not need yet.
Claim Transfer Devices	bool	When set, the robots needed to move labware are claimed along with the devices themselves.
Notes	string	Free-text note kept with this step. It appears on the step in the schedule editor and in the event log, and has no effect on what the step does. Use it to record why the step is here.
Enabled	bool	Whether this step runs. Clearing it leaves the step in the schedule, in place and still configured, but skips it at run time.
