Path View Customization

There are a few options to customize how you see your results in Path View.

Path View Settings

You can change your pathway settings in the Settings panel. 

Path Scores

You can enable the path score to be displayed next to the number of steps for each pathway. Path scores are calculated by scoring functions governed by the criteria selected to run the analysis. Scoring functions assign penalties for undesirable elements in pathways. Therefore, lower scores are more desirable.

Pathway View

You can select to see Pathway View as default when your results open, instead of having them displayed in Building Block View. 

Pathway Options

Click on the Pathway Options icon to open a menu that allows you to select how much information you want to see displayed in your Pathway View or Expanded Pathway View. All the options are enabled by default.

Sort Pathways

Use the Sort By menu to select one of the following options to sort your pathways:

• Path rank.
• Number of steps (protection and deprotection steps will not be considered in the total number of steps).
• Number of protection steps.
• Similarity to published reactions.
   

You can toggle between ascending or descending order by clicking the ‘Sorting Order’ icon.

Pathway Actions

You can find a series of pathway actions at the right of the ‘Pathway View’ toggle in each pathway header.

Favorite pathway

Click the ‘Favorite’ icon to save this pathway as a favorite. 

Download pathway

To export a pathway, open the three-dot menu, select Download, and choose your preferred format from the menu.

• Report (PDF): Generates a PDF report including the analysis parameters, the pathway node scheme, and a description of each reaction (reaction scheme, protection requirements, typical conditions, and illustrative references).
• Image (SVG): Saves an image of the pathway as it is displayed in Pathway View.
• Reactions (RDF): Generates a Reaction Data File (RDF), which saves reactions in mol file format with all associated data.

Add to Shopping List

Open the three-dot menu and select ‘Add to shopping List’ to add the commercial compounds in the pathway to your shopping list.

Note: See “Shopping List” in the Analyses Dashboard User Guide to learn how to set up and use your Shopping List for selecting commercial compounds you would like to buy. You can then either export your list as a csv file, or directly to your Sigma-Aldrich® catalog e-commerce account.
