Compare
In order to reveal differences in content, users can compare Value Sets or Value Set releases.
Users have two options for starting a comparison: either from the Releases tab, or using the dedicated button in the top-right corner of a Value Set page.
From the Releases Tab
In case of only one avilable release, the comparison will be run between the selected version and the unversioned state of the Value Set.
From the Value Set's page
You can select which versions you would like to compare using the dropdowns.
To compare different Value Sets, simply click in the bottom field and select another Value Set from the dropdown.
Compare Results
Differences are checked and calculated on two levels: members and clauses.
The section on the left-hand side collects the changes detected in the member list, while the right-hand side section displays the differences in the clause list.
Matching content will not be displayed, only the number of unchanged members and/or clauses will be indicated.
Both the member and the clause list headers display statistics related to the comparison. Besides displaying the number of members and clauses present in the different versions or Value Sets, the number of changes is also indicated.
Understanding the results
The comparison always has a direction, which is represented by the arrow between the selected resources base➡️target.
| Color | Description |
|---|---|
The member or clause is present in the base Value Set, but it is NOT present in, i.e. is removed from the target Value Set. | |
The member or clause is NOT present in the base Value Set, but it is present in, i.e. is added to the target Value Set. |
