Compare Field Controls

Learn about Compare Field Controls on Aurea CRM.

Use the Compare Configurations options to compare field control definitions from different configurations.

To compare control definitions:

1. On the CRM.Designer main page select a configuration.
2. In the Administration area click the Compare Configurations button.

   

3. Select the Field Group and Control type for the left control.
4. Select the configuration you want to compare under Control 2.
5. The Field Group is automatically selected, but can be changed.
6. Select the Control type for the second control.
   Note: The Field Group and Control drop-down lists only contain items that are defined in the selected configuration.
   Note: You can not compare Default controls.

The controls are displayed side by side. Panels are compared by Name, fields by ID. The following information is available:

• : The element (panel or field) has been added.
• : The element has been deleted.
• : The element has been modified.
• : The element has been moved.

  On mouse-over a tooltip displays information on the change, e.g. which field attribute was changed etc.

• When selecting an element (panel or field) that was edited, the element's attributes are displayed.
• When selecting an element, all occurrences of the element are highlighted with a colored border. The elements that are currently compared are highlighted with a colored background.

The Compare Configurations page supports the 1-click package functionality (for the current configuration, i.e. Control 1). For further details, see 1-Click Package Management.
