# What if I did not name the sample sheet with the MiSeq reagent cartridge barcode number?

During run setup, the MiSeq control software searches for a sample sheet with a name that matches the barcode number of the MiSeq reagent cartridge scanned in the previous run setup step. If a sample sheet is not found, the software pauses and prompts the user to browse to the appropriate sample sheet for the run, regardless of the file name. Naming the sample sheet with the reagent barcode number skips this additional step.
