The Replace Existing data without confirmation check box allows you the option
of overwriting current data. If this box is unchecked, you will receive confirmation
every time existing data is about to be overwritten. This may be time consuming if
you have a considerable amount of data to import, which overwrites existing data.
Select Search
The Select Search field lists all searches based on the filters selected in step one.
The search title must be formatted correctly. If the search title is incorrectly
formatted, you will get an error message whether or not you have the search title
checked in the options dialog. A correctly formatted search title consists of the
MatchSet name, cut list name, cut run serial number, plate name, MS run sequence
number, and the SSP number. The search title must be formatted with all spaces and
underscores removed. The only underscores that should remain are the item
separators.
If you generate a Masslynx worksheet, be sure to check the box labeled Format for
use with Mascot. This automatically formats the data file name exactly like the
search title with _mass.txt attached. See Section 10.1, Creating a MassLynx Batch
file.
