Comparing discovery and classification results

Compare results from different runs of the same discovery and classification process.

Procedure

  1. Open the audit process to-do list and click View to open the results of a classification process.
    For more information, see Audit Process To-Do List.
  2. From the results window, click Compare with other results to open the results-comparison dialog.
  3. From the results-comparison dialog, select the timestamp of another set of results from the same process and click Go to open the Classification run results compare view window.
  4. Work with the information presented in the results-comparison view:
    1. Use the Compare results menu to change the timestamp of the process results being compared.
      The results selected here are compared to the results of the process selected in step 1.
      Note: The results being compared are listed by timestamps in the Later results and Earlier results fields of the results-comparison view.
    2. Use the View menu to define what is shown in the comparison view.
      The View menu includes the following options:
      • Rows unique to the later results displays only rows unique to the newer results.
      • Rows unique to the earlier results displays only rows unique to the earlier results.
      • Unchanged rows displays only rows that are unchanged between both sets of results.
      Each option indicates the number of included rows, for example Rows unique to the later results (27) indicates that there are 27 rows unique to the later results.
