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 against other work competing for the same devices.
Incremental Claiming	bool	Claim each resource as the sequence reaches it, not all up front. Weakens the guarantee against waiting mid-sequence, but stops the sequence holding devices it does not need yet.
Claim Transfer Devices	bool	Also claim the robots needed to move labware, not just the devices.
Notes	string	A free-text note kept with this step. It changes nothing at run time. Shown on the step in the schedule editor and in the event log. Use it to record why the step is here.
Enabled	bool	Whether this step runs. Clearing it skips the step when the schedule runs. The step stays in the schedule, in place and still configured.
