Lesson comparison between two files |
|
It is sometimes necessary to compare the data of two different files e.g. between a file that you are currently processing and a previously created backup file.
Lesson comparison is activated from the lesson matrix (“Lessons | Matrix”) by clicking on the corresponding toolbar icon.
A dialogue window is displayed in which you can specify which file you wish to compare with the currently open file.
In the subsequent window you can specify how the differences should be displayed:
| • | File A / File B : Use these buttons to define the colours indicating different lessons in the files. |
| • | Foreground/ Background : This is where you decide whether the letters (foreground) or background of a cell should be displayed in the set colour. |
| • | Also use the colours in the printout : If you wish, you can also use the colours defined for the differences when printing. |
Furthermore, you can also output the differences in bold type and limit the output to those lines / columns of the matrix where differences occur.
Untis is now launched a second time on your computer (just like, for example, with the “Timetable comparison” function).
You will see that the number of lines in the lesson matrix has doubled as a line is displayed from the comparison file for each line in the current file. If differences are encountered they are displayed with the attributes you specified.
In the lesson comparison in the figure, for example, you can see that some of the teachers have changed. For many lessons in file B no teacher had been found while in file A most teachers have now been allocated, as is the case .e.g for class 3a and German, which will now be taken by teacher Hugo.
Teachers who had already been assigned have been exchanged, e.g. in the maths lesson for class 2b where teacher Newton has been replaced by teacher Gauss.
Unlike timetable comparison, the two instances of Untis in the lesson comparison are not symmetrical. The differences are only displayed in the first instance of the application and in the second the “Lines”, “Columns” and “Teachers” selection fields are not available in the lesson matrix.
