The result file displays a list of the matching peptides and proteins identified by the search engine that you selected. You can open this file to access and interpret the search results. You can also display multiple search results within a single report.
When the application generates the result file, it also generates the .pdResultView file. When you open the result file, you can arrange the data for optimal viewing by specifying which columns to display, sorting the data, arranging the positions of the columns, and so on. When you close the report, the application automatically saves the current view to the .pdResultView file. The column display on the report pages, the sorting of data, the currently set display filters, and the current row selection status persist when you reopen the report.
