You can use change tracking to identify the modifications between two report files
consecutively generated. To detect differences, you must generate the two versions with the
change tracking mode. This mode only tracks textual and structural differences.
Before you begin: Create a report containing a template, an output format, and parameters. For more
information,
Creating a Report.
-
Select a service item or a service process object.
-
From the Tools section of the action bar,
click Report Generation
.
-
In the list, select a report and click Generate report with
changes.
The icon turns into orange indicating that the generation is in
progress.
A new version of the generated file is created and associated with the selected report:
- If the report file is generated for the first time with the change tracking mode, the
generation works as in the previous task. For more information, see Generate the Content of a Report File. The change tracking mode
is now activated. The tracked changes appear in the generated report file in the next
generation.
- Otherwise, the generated report file contains tracked changes because of the
modifications in the template or data.
You can now verify the reports content. For more information, see Visualizing the Generated Report File. The latest changes, such as added and
deleted elements, are displayed as annotations in the generated report file.
