Exercise 1: Comparison Tables

Comparison Tables allow you to compare several different records at once, and highlight differences between them.

  1. Add an unfilled PP (Polypropylene) and an unfilled PVC record to a Comparison Table.

    Find an example of each in the Browse tree, then right-click and select Add to Comparison Table.

  2. Set the PVC record as the reference record.

    Hover over the record name in the Comparison Table and click Set as Reference.

    Any values in the PP record that differ from the PVC reference record by 10% or more will be highlighted in the Comparison Table.

  3. Change the display to show the differences relative to the reference record as percentages.

    Click % Change in the Comparison Table toolbar.

    To change the percentage difference that is highlighted, update the Highlight % Change > value.

  4. Clear the Reference Record selection and the Comparison Table.

    Click Tools on the main toolbar, then:

    • Select Reference Record > Clear > MaterialUniverse
    • Select Comparison Table > Clear > MaterialUniverse
