Benchling Run Schema API

Defines the structure and automation configuration for a category of Runs in Benchling's lab automation system. A RunSchema specifies field definitions for run metadata, input generator configurations (see AutomationInputFileConfig) for creating instrument worklists, and output processor configurations (see AutomationOutputFileConfig) for parsing instrument results. Schemas can be linked to an AnalysisTemplate for automated data processing after runs complete. Settings control whether runs can be created from notebooks (allowCreateRunFromNotebook), inserted from the run inbox (allowInsertRunFromInbox), and whether equipment tracking is enabled (shouldRecordEquipment). Each schema is owned by an Organization and has a systemName used for Data Platform integration. RunSchemas define the automation workflow for specific assay types like qPCR, ELISA, or sequencing.
