Mask options


Mask options enable you to specify object properties that are compared when generating, viewing, or printing a Differences report. If the option is enabled for an object property, it is compared in the Differences report; if disabled, the object property is not compared and appears as the same in the Differences report.

Note

If the mask option for an object property is disabled, the detailed Differences report displays the header for that property group in green color regardless of the actual difference in the value of that property. Even though the mask option for that object property is disabled, a red X symbol is displayed against the property if its values differ, otherwise a green check mark is displayed.


If you change the options while a report is open, you can refresh the report display by pressing F5.

You can synchronize the Differences report mask settings so that they match those for migration mask settings.

To select mask options in Differences reports

  1. Select Tools > Options to display the BMC Remedy Migrator Options dialog box.
  2. Under Category, click Differences, and select any of the object types listed in the following table to display the Differences mask options.

    The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.

  3. Select the object properties that you want to compare on the report.
     To change an option, click the name, and select Enabled or Disabled from the drop-down list.
  4. Click OK.
    To set the Mask options back to the BMC Remedy Migrator defaults, click Set Default. To cancel your changes, click Cancel.

    Note

    There are no separate masking options for the field property changes made in a view overlay. The masking options set for the Views > Property List are inherited by the field properties in a view overlay.


    To synchronize settings with migration mask settings, click Synchronize Migration Masks.
