How to use in practice

The creation of text project properties is very simple.

Creating text project properties

When creating a text property you need to define:

The short and long names for the property – short names are used in most places, for example on column headers in the spreadsheet, or as axis labels on graphs. Long names can be useful to help you find the property in the property search and can be more descriptive to help other users understand the meaning of the property you have created.
The analysis group(s) to which the property should be added. By default we suggest adding new properties to the Custom analysis group. Select the analysis group desired in the drop down, then click on the Add Analysis Group button. You can select multiple analysis groups here, and remove them by clicking on the red X.

Adding project properties to the Custom analysis group will make them easier to find, however if you want to add a new property to an existing analysis, for example a new ratio to the Biomarker GCMSMS group then you can do that. The advanced search options now allow you to find only project properties.

Once you are happy with the names, and analyses you can select to Create the property. This will not add the property to any page, or other artefact - it is fully in the system, but you will now have to add it to a page or other artefact to see it!
