Ignoring Attributes in Version Comparison

You can ignore one or more attributes from the comparison list while comparing versions in the application. You can achieve this using new settings introduced in application.properties file. The administrators can define the list of attributes to be ignored using the following settings:

ignoreAttributesInVersionCompare=attribute1 attribute2 attribute3 …

The attributes name must be separated using a blank space.

The above definition ignores attribute1, attribute2, and attribute3 from all item types that are available in the comparison list.

You can further restrict the comparison list and ignore the attributes for a specific item type.

The attribute filter is available only if Rochade Server 8.9 or newer is installed.

For example, if you want to ignore attribute4 and attribute5 from item type1, and ignore attribute6 from item type 2, then you must set the following in application.properties file:

ignoreAttributesInVersionCompare.itemtype1=attribute4 attribute5
ignoreAttributesInVersionCompare.itemtype2=attribute6

When the comparison list is created, the items that differ only in these defined attributes are no longer listed in the compare results list.
