12.1.3.12.3 Compare Versions

Over time, a company’s processes can change significantly. Referring a previous version of a process allows an user to see what has been improved, or conversely, if the new process is more ineffective than the previous. The EPC allows users to compare the current version of a process to all previously published versions in graph mode. This feature will highlight any changes from the selected version to the current version.

To compare the current of the process to previous versions:

1. Navigate to the tools menu

2. As you hover your mouse over “Version Compare”, the menu will be expanded and show all previously published versions.

*If the process has never been published, the expanded menu will show “No previous versions”

3. Click on the desired version number. The compare windows will appear, with the selected previous version in the left window and the current version in the right panel.

Compare versions can be used with swimlanes, highlights, node and performance colors, shape types and groups. For more information on graph map options, see the Options section.

!Compare previous versions is not compatible with sub-process and IPL expansions turned on. If an IPL or a sub-process is expanded and the user compares previous versions, the IPL and sub-process will be collapsed.
