Generating a differences report

The differences report indicates the difference between what is in a configuration and the CIs related to it. For example, you might have a configuration that contains a laptop, mouse, keyboard, and docking station. If the keyboard is not the same type of keyboard as specified in the related configuration, the differences report shows this. This report helps you determine who is software and hardware compliant.

To generate a differences report

1. Open a CI, as described in Using search.

2. Unknown macro: {multi-excerpt}
   From the navigation pane, choose Functions > Configuration.
3. In the Configuration Information dialog box, click View Differences.
   In the Comparison of CI to Items in Configuration dialog box, the name of the configuration appears in the Configuration field. Any related CIs appear in the table. The Authorized column shows whether the CI is authorized for this configuration.
