Creating a comparison table

In a selection project, you can view up to 20 records in a comparison table (including the reference record, if set).

The comparison table will be included in the selection report for the project.

In the Select window:

  1. In the Results pane, select records to include in the comparison table.
    1. To select a record, check the box in the left-hand column.
    2. To deselect a record, clear the box.
  2. In the Reports pane, click the Comparison button to create the comparison table.
    The comparison table is displayed in a separate Comparison Table window.
    Note:
    • For any given data table (such as MaterialUniverse), you can only have one comparison table active at a time.
      • When you create a new selection project based on that data table, the comparison table is automatically cleared.
      • When you save the selection project, its comparison table is saved as part of the project.
      • When you close the selection project, the comparison table is automatically cleared.
      • When you reopen a saved selection project, its comparison table is restored, and replaces any current comparison table.
      • However, you can create and use comparison tables for two or more different data tables (such as MaterialUniverse and Global Polymers Plastics) at the same time.
    • Before a comparison table can be viewed, it must contain at least one record. If you have set a reference record for a data table or selection project, this is automatically added to the relevant comparison table.
    • You can add a maximum of twenty records to a comparison table, including the reference record. If you try to add further records, they will not be added.
