Procedure

  1. Open the result file and use the Field Chooser to make the appropriate columns visible.
  2. Select the Protein Groups, Proteins, or Peptide Groups tab.
  3. In the Field Chooser, select the checkboxes of the data distribution columns that you want to display. The data distribution columns are as follows:
  4. Found in Samples
  5. Found in Files
  6. Found in Sample Groups
  7. Found in Fractions
  8. These columns display the best confidence of the PSMs of the protein that the application identified in the files. The colors of the boxes represent the following:
  9. Green: High confidence
  10. Yellow: Medium confidence
  11. Red: Low confidence
  12. Blue: Found but unidentified PSM. Only the results from precursor ion quantification searches contain blue boxes.
  13. Each column pertaining to data distribution features an expand icon to the right of the column name.
  14. (Optional) Select Expand in any of the data distribution columns 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.

The following figure shows the legends for the Found in Files, Found in Samples, Found in Sample Groups, and Areas columns of the result report.
