Compare Records

To decide whether records should be merged or split, compare them side by side and inspect their differences, including their related records.

Open records to compare

You can compare any records of the same entity.

  1. In the record listing, select the records to compare.

  2. Select Compare.

To compare the related records of one record, open the record in the preview side panel and select a group of related records. The listing of the related entity opens, filtered to those records. Select and compare them as described.

Compare in the record listing

Read the compare view

Each record is assigned a color and a number. Attribute values that differ between the compared records are marked with a not equal sign (≠) next to the attribute name.

To see only the attributes that differ, select Show only differences.

To see the related records of the compared records, expand the Related entities section and select the entity you want to view. Related records carry the color and number of the record they belong to.

The compare view uses the column layout of the entity, so the columns you show, hide, or reorder in the record listing apply here as well. See Change the column layout.

Merge preview

If the compared master records represent the same real-world entity, you can merge them into one. Merge preview shows which values the merged record would have.
