A number of components in Web UI offer the ability to easily identify differences and similarities between multiple objects via the 'Hide Equal' and 'Mark Different' actions. The 'Hide Equals' action hides all equal values from the user, while the 'Mark Different' action highlights all values that are different. These actions are available for all Node Lists, but are added in a variety of ways. They can be configured as toolbar actions on the following components: Children of Types Screen, Task List screen, Multi Selection Screen, and the Collections Screen. They are available via checkbox configuration on the Multi Revision Screen, Deduplication Screen, Multi Workspace Screen, and Potential Duplicates List. For the Deduplication and Potential Duplicates screens these actions are automatically available so long as at least one other action is configured.
For Multi Workspace Screen and Multi Revision Screen components, these actions need to be manually configured.
- In design mode, navigate to the screen component to configure via the dropdown.
- In the screen properties for the applicable component, check the 'Show Hide Equals Button' and the 'Show Mark Different Button'.
- Click Save.
Important: For tables containing more than 25 objects (or less than two), the Hide Equal and Mark Different buttons will show as inactive. This is because running a Hide Equal or Mark Different process on more than 25 objects can cause significant performance slowdowns. If a table is showing with more than 25 objects and one of these two tasks must be performed, use the filtering features to bring the number down below 25.
Example
In the image below, the 'Mark Different' action has highlighted the attributes 'Multiplayer' and 'Disc Dimensions' because the displayed revisions have different values for those attributes.
In the image below, the 'Hide Equals' action hid the 'Co-op' and 'PvP' attribute values columns(pictured above) because the displayed revisions have the same values for those attributes.
Note: Hide equal and Mark different actions works the same way for Multi Context and Multi Workspace as described above for Multi Revision screens.
