Comparisons

You can compare the draft version of a code list or a crosswalk with the active version to compare proposed changes with the active version. You can also compare code lists and hierarchies to identify similarities and differences.

Compare changes

You can compare the draft version of a code list or a crosswalk with the active version. You can view the changes to code values and value mappings and evaluate whether the changes are correct. You can compare versions when you work on a draft, send a draft for approval, or review an approval task.

The

Compare Versions

view displays both unchanged and changed code values in a code list and value mappings in a crosswalk. When you edit or review a draft, you might want to view only changed code values or value mappings. You can also filter to view added, edited, moved, and deleted code values or value mappings only.

When you compare moved code values, you can navigate to the new location of the moved code value. You can navigate back to the original location to evaluate whether the move to the new location is correct.

The following table lists the changes to code lists and crosswalks and the highlights:

Change in a code list	Change in a crosswalk	Highlight
Deleted code value	Removed value mapping	Red
Edited code value	-	Yellow and italicized
Moved code value	-	Blue
New code value	New value mapping	Green

Compare lists

You can see a side-by-side view of code lists and hierarchies to identify similarities and differences between code values. You can choose to compare the same or different types of assets. For example, you might want to compare the code values in a code list with the code values in another code list, or the code values in a code list with the code values in a hierarchy.

To use the side-by-side view to display the information that you want to compare, perform the following tasks:

To find specific code values, add filter criteria or enter search terms to find specific code values.

To display the details of selected code values in each list, including summary, history, and relationship information, enable the

Show code value details

option.

To choose which attribute columns appear and rearrange the attribute columns, configure the column settings.

To view the code values that existed in code lists and hierarchies at a point in time in the past, select a specific date and time.
