Filtering Changes in the Compare and Merge Windows

You can filter the objects that are shown in the Compare and Merge windows.

1. In the Compare or Merge Models window, click the arrow next to the Change Filter tool to display the list of filters:

   • • All objects

     • All changes

     • Only created objects

     • Only deleted objects

     • Only modified objects

     • Only moved objects

     • Only identical objects

     • Only selected objects [Merge Only]

     • Show only conflicts [Merge Only] - A merge conflict occurs when the same object has been modified differently in the origin and generated model or the local and Repository model.

     • Hide all preservations [Merge Only] - Hides all differences associated with changes made in the model to be merged as well as all identical objects in order to show only changes made in the model on the left since last generation.

     • Advanced Filters – Opens the Comparison Filters dialog box, which allows you to combine several filters.

       [Merge Only] The following additional Filters on State are available for combining:

       • Show only selected objects - Displays only selected merge actions

       • Show only conflictual objects - Displays objects that have been changed simultaneously by two different users. This filter is only available for merge during consolidation

       • Show only non-preserved objects - Displays objects modified in a generated model but not in the source model. This filter is only available for merge during model generation

       You can display all created and deleted objects in the same tree view, check which objects have changed parent after a move (from one package to another package, for example), or which objects have been moved within the same collection (when you move attributes within the same entity, for example).

2. Select the appropriate filter to apply it to the Compare or Merge Window. Only objects complying with the filter criteria are displayed.
