Comparison Matrix widget

The Comparison Matrix widget is used to compare values for the same item across multiple locations, for all items that have a regional relationship. It can be added on the ITEMS form view.

The widget displays all locations for the same stock item, where the region value is common.

A customizable list of fields can be viewed for comparison across stores.

Each column in the Comparison Matrix contains information relevant to a particular location.

Each row is a specific field, listing the values at each respective location.

Some values can be edited by clicking the field and entering the value or selecting a new value from a drop-down list. Recalculation might then be required, depending on the field amended.

Note: If the Comparison Matrix is not visible the widget can be collapsed. Users can scroll down through the page until a strip labeled "Comparison Matrix" is seen. Click the Plus icon to the left of the label to expand it. If such a label is not present, then users can manually add the widget, as outlined in the following information.
