# Derived Sample Automation Tokens

When configuring automations in the BaseSpace Clarity LIMS, copy tokens from the Tokens list and paste them into the Command-Line field.

These tokens are available for use in derived sample automations. If using multiple variables, add a space between each entry. All tokens and parameters are case-sensitive.
