Katalyst: Experiments fail to finalize due to unresolved warnings

Description

• Attempting to finalize an experiment shows a list of warnings (e.g., missing data, questionable results).
• Katalyst refuses to finalize until these warnings are cleared or acknowledged.
• Users are unsure which warnings must be resolved vs which can be accepted.

Solution

• Review the warning list:
  • Some warnings may be configured as blocking (must be fixed), others as informational.
• Resolve what’s required:
  • For blocking warnings (e.g., required analytical data missing in key wells), complete the missing work or update experiment configuration to reflect the actual workflow (see KB 51 and KB 29).
• Acknowledge or override:
  • If configuration allows, authorized users may override or acknowledge certain warnings as acceptable exceptions.
  • Ensure such overrides are logged for audit purposes.
• Tune warning rules:
  • If many warnings are not relevant, refine or reduce them so that only genuinely important issues block finalization.
