Introduction

Please note that the exporters do not check which pre-processing steps have been carried out beforehand! Some down-stream analysis tools might require validated results, some might require raw results, some might require target matches only, some might require target and decoy matches, etc. Which filtering steps are applied before export are up to you - the user - and your own responsibility. Please read the instructions of the down-stream analysis tool you want to use and get familiar with it and the required data before exporting! The exporter tutorial pages also give a short overview of recommended pre-processing steps!
