Compare projects

FACTON lets you identify changes and discrepancies between several open projects by comparing them.

Requirements

The option to compare projects is only available if more than one project is open.

Like the Project Cockpit, the project comparison offers you quick access to all project-related data, including sales prices, target costs, shift models and locations.

The individual project data categories are listed in the tree structure in the left pane. Various dialog/project data tabs are shown on the right depending on the selected category.

For more information on project data categories, see the Project Cockpit.
