๐ปPolicy Differentiation using UI

Last updated
We can now perform a detailed comparison between two or more policies.
To compare the policies, we need to click on Compare button in the policies tab as shown below:
When Compare button is clicked, we get a pop up to select policies, which we want to perform comparison off.
Selected Policies are compared to the first Policy (displayed in the section on the left-hand side), the rest of the sections show the results of the โdiffsโ.
We have several different sections in our comparison screen including filter parameters:
Events: configures if differences in events are reflected in the results of the comparison of blocks
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
Don't compare | event differences are not reflected in the results of comparing blocks |
All events | event differences are reflected in the block comparison results |
2. Properties : configures how differences in Properties are reflected in the results of comparing blocks
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
Don't compare | differences in properties do not have effect on the comparison of blocks, except the โtagโ and โblock typeโ which do. |
Only simple properties | only simple Properties influence block comparison |
All properties | all Properties are taken into consideration for block comparison |
3. Children : configures how differences in child blocks influence the results of comparing parent blocks
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
Don't compare | when parents blocks are compared their child blocks are not taken into consideration |
Only child blocks of the first level | only immediate children of parent blocks are compared when comparing parent blocks |
All children | all children of parent blocks are compared when comparing parent blocks |
4. UUID : configures if UUID and Hedera ID are taken into consideration when comparing blocks
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
Don't compare | UUIDs of schemas, tokens, topics, etc and their Properties are not compared when blocks are compared |
All UUID | all IDs are taken into consideration when comparing blocks (for example when this option is chosen if all Properties of tokens in two Policies being compared are the same these tokens would still be considered different since they would by definition have different UUIDs) |
There are different sections in the comparison such as
Main โ shows results of comparison of the main fields of the Policies
Policy Roles โ shows results of comparison of the roles of Policies
Policy Groups โ shows results of comparison of the groups
Policy Topics โ shows results of comparison of dynamic topics
Policy Tokens โ shows results of comparisons of dynamic tokens
Policy Blocks โ shows results of comparisons of Policy block structures
We have several Display settings in Policy Blocks section:
Display Settings: description and show/hide settings for each color/type of difference:
Color | Purpose |
---|---|
Green | blocks are equal, including their child blocks |
Green - Amber | blocks are equal, but their child blocks are different |
Amber | blocks are of the same type and are partially equal, there are some notable differences |
Red | blocks are absent in the other Policy |
Block comparison displays can be unfolded to display a detailed view of the block Properties.
