    1. Open the Compare source dropdown menu to select the source product that contains the source project you want to compare, and then select the source project from the Project dropdown menu.

    2. Open the with target dropdown menu to select the target product that contains the project for comparison, and then select the target project from the Project dropdown menu.

Selecting the Report Data

The Project Comparison Report comprises two report tables:

  • Libraries: Displays the Library associated with the project, the Licenses assigned to the project, and the Action - i.e., whether the license was added or removed.
    You can filter the display of data in the Libraries table according to Library, Licenses, or Action with a specific value. To do this:

    1. Expand the Filter area, select the property, and enter the value by which to filter.

    2. Click Filter.

  • License Occurrences: Displays the name and number of occurrences of each license for both the source and target projects.
    You can filter the display of data in the License Occurrences table to show the occurrences of just one specific license. To do this:

    1. Enter the value of the license in the Value field.

    2. Click Filter.

Exporting the Report

To export the report, click the Export dropdown menu at the top right corner of the report. The report will be exported in Excel format.
