Procedure

Select specific items in a result file

Procedure

  1. If the Checked column is not displayed, open the Field Chooser and select Checked.
  2. Select the checkboxes for the items to export.
  3. Mark all items in the result report or just selected items.
  4. You can select not only items on the current page but also items that are directly connected to them in the table that opens when you select Show Associated Tables. For example, this feature might be useful when you filter for peptides with a certain sequence motif and want to select these peptides and all connected proteins. You can then use the display filters to filter out the proteins and peptides that you did not select so that the application displays all proteins and their peptides with the specific sequence motif.
