Properties are characteristics attached to a given “object”, such as an Identification, a Context, a Protein Group or a Peptide.
Most of the time these objects are represented by “nodes” in a tree view.

There are several ways to access object properties:

• in a property sheet
• in a tree view where the columns “map” object properties

1. From any tree view (MSIExplorer, ContextExplorer, etc.), select the node object your are interested in getting properties
2. Right-click to display context sensitive menu and select Properties
3. The Property Sheet will show up

1. From any tree view (MSIExplorer, ContextExplorer, etc., click on the small icon at the top right corner
2. The “Change Visible Columns” dialog will show up
3. Check/Uncheck the properties you want to show/hide, and validate
4. The header columns in the tree view will update automatically
