The Console uses different colors for output, input, error, and informational text.
A tooltip is a flag appearing when the mouse is over a GUI control. The text displayed helps the user in understanding fields and required values.

All PeakSearch tables can be sorted by column. Click on a header column, and the table sorts.
Tables with two
panes: The user selects an item in the left pane and the right pane is then populated with
its properties.
For example, for Image Navigator View, if the user selects a directory in the left
pane, all of its files are displayed in the right pane.
Context Menus are available in the table. Select an item and right click to open a context menu.
