Settings Page

The Settings page is specific to local user settings within MS Connect. Other user results can be hidden, QC display names can be changed, and QC presets can be set. Settings can also be changed to allow Interactive graphs to be created.

Features

1. Hide Other users - Displays only the current user's data and conceals all other data. (Default settings can be set in the Django Admin settings.)

2. QC Settings

• Automatic QC Setting - The quality control process for individual runs is automated using the combination of the selected processing application and preset. The format for this combination is specified as process_app_pk + "qc" + preset_number, for example, "1qc2" represents processing application 1 with preset 2.
  • QC 1 Name - The name displayed in the record page for output_QC_number_1. The default is "Protein"
  • QC 2 Name - The name displayed in the record page for output_QC_number_2. The default is "Peptide"
  • QC 3 Name - The name displayed in the record page for output_QC_number_3. The default is "PSM"
  • QC 4 Name - The name displayed in the record page for output_QC_number_4. The default is "MS2"
• Automatic Workflow Settings
  • A tool that automates the process of starting a processing task once a full study is completed. It works by searching for keywords in the sample records (factor_8_name, and factor_8_value). If the last uploaded record's "factor_8_name" is "study_group" and the last four characters of "factor_8_value" are "last", the selected tool will gather all the records within the same project name and study group (by removing the "last" from the "factor_8_value") and use the specified processing app and preset to initiate the processing task.

3. Replace Original Data with mzML format - When turned on data is compressed into a mzML file.

4. Enable Extraction Information From Upload File - When enabled, this allows interactive graphs to be created and displayed in every record detail file.

5. Save - Saves all changes made to the settings

6. Advanced System Settings - A redirect to the Advanced System Settings page where data management settings are modified. Advanced Settings Wiki page
