The PlantSight Differences dialog is a common dialog used between the OpenPlant applications when checking in or updating PlantSight with changes made in the active drawing.

The default mode allows user selection of objects and properties to include in an update operation.

The dialog is made up of two sections:

• Objects table: Displays the objects in the drawing which have been added, deleted, or modified.
• Properties table: Displays the properties for the selected object(s) which have been added, deleted, or modified including the Old Value(s) and New Value(s) of the property.

Objects Table

The Objects displays the objects in the drawing which have been added, deleted, or modified that need to be synchronized with PlantSight. The toolbar icons and options below the table let you filter what is displayed in the table.

Setting	Description
Home	Enables when a relationship is selected in the Properties table. Relationship values which are underlined are hyperlinks which can be used to browse to a new set of objects. Clicking the hyperlink will replace the current set of objects in the Objects table with a new set and will select all of the new objects so their properties can be viewed in the Properties table. The Home button returns the dialog to the original set of objects.
Browse Back One Step	This option is used to return the display to the previous list of objects when browsing (See Browse section below).
Show GroupBy Row	Display a row on top of the Object table allowing you to click and drag a column header into the row. When doing this the objects will be grouped according to the column header which was selected:
Search	Displays a search field which searches dynamically as you enter characters. The drop down list shown provides additional search options including which column to search.
Object Filter Icons	The following list of icons are used to toggle which objects are displayed in the grid: Show Added - Toggles the display of object types which were added since the drawing was last synced with the database. These records display in green. Show Deleted - Toggles the display of object types which were deleted since the drawing was last synced with the database. These records display in red. Show Modified - Toggles the display of object types which were modified since the drawing was last synced with the database. These records display in blue. Show Unchanged - Toggles the display of all other objects in the drawing that have remained unchanged but still get synced with the database.
Select/Clear All	Select All - Enables the check box next to all of the object types. Clear All - Disables the check box next to all of the object types.
Status	Shows whether the object has been Added, Deleted or Modified during the current drawing session.
Column Filter	Select the icon in any column header to display the following dialog allowing you to filter the object types displayed in the Differences dialog. This dialog displays when you select the icon in the column header. Select the type(s) of components to display in the Objects grid and click OK to apply the change.
Update	Updates the changes made and finishes loading the cable types into the project. The new and modified cable types will display in the Cable Types grid.
Cancel	Closes the Options dialog without saving any changes.

Properties Table

The Properties table lists the property values of the selected record(s) in Objects list. New properties are displayed in green, Modified in blue, and deleted properties in red.

When multiple objects are selected, only the properties common to each selected object is displayed in the Properties grid and the text is displayed in an italic font as shown:

The toolbar options and filtering options operate the same as the Objects table. See above for details.

Browsing

The Differencing Control can also be used for browsing from one object (or set of objects) to another.

Property table relationship values (in the New Value or Old Value columns) that are underlined are hyperlinks which can be used to "browse" to a new set of objects. Clicking on a hyperlink will replace the current set of objects in the Objects table with the new set and will select all the new objects so their properties can be immediately viewed. Object filters are disabled when in this mode.

For example, if you click on the value hyperlink for the Unit Has Named Item relationship shown above it will display all of the objects which has a value defined for this relationship in the Objects table:

You can individually select objects from this list to display the property values. The Home icon will return you to the default set of Objects while the Back one Step icon will return you to the previous set of objects which was displayed.
