Procedure

1. Create or open a study and an analysis:
1. To create or open an existing study, see Create a study or Open an existing study.
2. To create or open an existing analysis, see Create an analysis or Opening an existing analysis.
2. (Optional) In the Workflow Editor, create a processing workflow. For information, see Create a workflow.
3. In the Workflow Editor, create a consensus workflow that includes the following nodes: (See Create a workflow.)
1. MSF Files node
2. PSM Grouper node (Not required if exporting PSMs only)
4. Drag the Result Exporter node to the Post-Processing Nodes pane.
5. For more information on this node, see Result Exporter node.
6. The following figure shows the minimum consensus workflow for exporting the pages of a result file.

7. 

5. Connect the nodes in the Workflow Tree pane.
6. Set the parameters for each node. Use the File Name parameter of the Result Exporter node to specify the name of the file to export the pages to. You can also use the File Name Suffix parameter to specify a suffix to append to the file name. You might want to use a suffix when you use multiple export nodes in a workflow, for example, to export HCD and ETD spectra.
7. For information about all the parameters that you can set for the MSF Files node and the PSM Grouper node, see MSF Files node and PSM Grouper node.
7. (Optional) Save the workflow:
1. In the Name box above the Workflow Tree pane, enter a name for the processing workflow.
2. (Optional) In the Description box, enter a brief description of the processing workflow.
3. In the Workflow Editor, select Save or Save Common.
4. In the Save Workflow dialog box, do the following:
   - Locate the file to save the template in, or enter a new name for the file.
   - In the Save As Type list, select Consensus Workflow File (*.pdConsensusWF).
   - Select Save.
5. The application saves the workflow in the file_name.pdConsensusWF file.
8. Save the analysis.
9. See Save an analysis as a template.
9. Save the study.
10. See Save a study.
10. Select Run in the upper right corner of the Analysis window.
11. The job queue appears, which you can use to check the status of your search as the search progresses. For information about the job queue, see Job queue.
