Module comparison markup
When you run the module comparison wizard, you can show differences in a column in the newer module. Switch off the filter to see the changes with markup.
The changes are marked as follows:
| If... | Then... |
|---|---|
| An object has been inserted | The object heading and object text of the inserted object is shown in the comparison column in blue, underlined text. |
| An object has been deleted | The object that precedes the deleted object has: Deleted object
<object ID> follows here in red, italicized text. The object heading and object text of the deleted object is shown in red text with strikethrough. |
| The heading number of an object has changed as a result of changes to the module structure | The old heading number is shown in red with strikethrough, and the new heading number is blue and underlined. |
| An object has been edited | Deletions within text are shown in red with strikethrough, and additional text is blue and underlined. |
The new column is a layout DXL column. Layout DXL can be memory intensive, as the associated DXL is recalculated each time Rational® DOORS® refreshes the display. If you do not want the DXL to be recalculated on each refresh, you can convert the layout DXL column to attribute DXL.
Note: The attribute DXL column does not contain markup, and only provides information about changes
to the structure of the module. Changes to text within objects are not recorded.
