Procedure

1. Open the result file and use the Field Chooser to make the appropriate columns visible in the result file.
2. Select the Protein Groups, Proteins, or Peptide Groups tab, as appropriate.
3. In the Field Chooser, select the checkboxes of the appropriate data distribution columns. Examples of these columns include the following:
1. Found in Samples
2. Found in Files
3. Found in Sample Groups
4. Found in Fractions
5. These columns display the best confidence of the PSMs of the protein that the application identified in the files.
6. The colors of the boxes in the Found in Samples, Found in Sample Groups, Found in Files, and Found in Fractions columns represent the following:
1. Green: High confidence
2. Yellow: Medium confidence
3. Red: Low confidence
4. Blue: Unidentified PSM that was found by feature mapping. Only the results from precursor ion quantification searches contain blue boxes.
5. Each column pertaining to data distribution features an Expand icon, , to the right of the column name.
4. (Optional) In the appropriate columns pertaining to data distribution, select the Expand icon, , to open a legend that displays the identification number of the input file (shown in the ID column on the Input Files page) and the quantification label.
5. The following figure shows the legends for the Found in Samples, Found in Sample Groups, Areas, Biological Process, and Ratios columns of the result report.
