The quantification methods stored in a study do not keep their connection to the initially connected processing server from which they were received.
When you add a quantification method to a study, the method is independent of the connected processing server.
NOTE
If a quantification method is already set for one or more input files, you cannot change the number and names of the quantification channels. In this case, you can only change the modifications set for the method or the channels. Click the Export icon to save the quantification method to a METHOD file that you can then import into another Proteome Discoverer instance.
The quantification methods are now automatically set for the quantification nodes contained in the workflow to avoid any accidental mismatches between the quantification methods specified for an input file and the quantification methods set in a workflow. The analysis validation detects any inconsistencies.
You can also use the Proteome Discoverer Daemon utility to select a quantification method. For information on this procedure, see Run the Daemon utility from the window.
