The identified changes in comparison results are categorized as follows:

Category

Description

Added

The data only exists in the second data source or time period.

Modified

The data exists in both the first and the second data source or time period but has changes.

Removed

The data only exists in the first data source or time period.

Equal

The data exists in both the first and the second data source or time period, and no changes occur.

Note: The comparison results for the same device and data type may be different if you swap the Dataset 2 and Dataset 1 during the comparison, because the Comparison feature takes Dataset 2 as a reference and uses the Dataset 1 to compare with it. For example, a comparison result shows that a route entry has been added, but it will show removed when you swap the two data sets.
