In this tab, the comparison part of the action is configured. These settings determine how the action should search for missing records between items.

Note:

When comparing alphanumeric Keyword Types and/or property values, an implicit conversion will occur during the comparison that will attempt to convert the incoming value into its representative data type in order to execute a proper comparison. This implicit conversion will attempt to infer if the incoming value represents a number, a date, or a string. In the event that the incoming value is formatted in such a way that the value can be inferred as both a numeric value or a date value, the numeric value will take precedence during the comparison.

Note:

When comparing different data types (for example, comparing alphanumeric to a currency data type), any formatting differences could impact the evaluation of the values. To ensure the accuracy of any evaluation, it is a best practice to always compared values that are of the same data type.

To configure comparisons:

  1. In the Keyword Record on Related Item drop-down list, select the Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group that stores the comparable Keyword records.
    The Keyword Type and Mapped Keyword Type drop-down lists are populated with Keyword Types belonging to the Multi-Instance Keyword Type Groups that will be compared.
  2. Select a Keyword Type from the Keyword Type drop-down list.
  3. In the Mapped Keyword Type drop-down list, select the Keyword Type that should be compared to the Keyword Type selected in the Keyword Type drop-down list, then click Add. When the action is executed, it will search for comparable values between these two mapped Keyword Types.

To delete a Keyword mapping, select the mapped Keywords, then click Delete.
