### 11.2.2. Creating a Quick Compare Report

To create a customizable comparison report, see Creating a Customized Comparison Report.

Important: Quick compare reports are not available on a tablet device.

EKM provides you with an easy single-click way to generate a comparison report between two or more objects using the quick compare feature. Simply select two or more objects in the file list window, then select (More) > Report > Quick Compare. The Show all default setting for the objects selected will be used to automatically generate a temporary report and display it in HTML (Figure 11.3: Quick Compare Report). You can clear the temporary report results by clicking the clear button on the toolbar, or save the report as a `Comparison Report` object in the default /Data/My Data folder (or another folder you specify) by clicking the save icon . See Saving a Report.

If all of the objects selected are report object types (for example, Comparison Reports, Process Reports, Simulation Details Reports), then `All Report Content` will be compared as well as `All Properties` (Figure 11.3: Quick Compare Report). Otherwise, All Properties will only be compared. Once the report is generated, you can change the report to compare only the differences in the properties and report content. Do this by selecting Show only differences from the Comparison Format drop box at the top-right of the temporary report.
