1. In the Annotation Aspect view on the Administration page, select Add in the toolbar.
2. The Annotation Aspect Editor opens.
4. The Annotation Aspects Editor consists of three parts:
1. On the top is the aspect definition area, which includes the name and description of the annotation aspect and colored boxes representing the annotation groups of the aspect.
2. On the lower left is the Annotation Group area, which contains the definitions of a single annotation group.
3. On the lower right is the Available Annotations area, which lists the available annotations.
2. In the Aspect Name box in the aspect definition area, enter the aspect name.

3. NOTE

   Spaces are not supported. You can use letters, numbers, and underscores (_).

3. In the Description box, enter a brief definition of the new aspect.
4. Select New Group in the Annotation Group area of the Editor.
5. A red box appears in the aspect definition area of the Editor beneath the Description box.

6. Specify the fill color of the group rectangle that is used when a protein belongs to the new group as follows:

2. Select the color that you want, or define a custom color. For information on defining a custom color, refer to the Set global default fragment match options topic in the Proteome Discoverer Help .
