To compare versions

About this task

This tool allows you to view the allocations for up to six budget versions on the same screen and is useful when selecting the most appropriate one.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the version to which you want to compare others by clicking its name in the versions (Protractor, ruler, and pencil image) drop-down list. The name of the currently selected version appears in red on the drop-down list.
  2. Select the check box next to the names of up to five other versions in the drop-down list.
  3. Without leaving the drop-down, click Compare Current with Selected.

    The comparison screen appears. Colors differentiate each budget version. Red arrows indicate whether the allocations for each area are higher or lower than the current budget. While comparing, you can show and hide versions using + and - to isolate specific versions in the comparison.

  4. After you finish comparing, click End Comparison in the yellow box at the top of the screen.
