• You can sort the difference report in ascending or descending order based on the contents of a column by clicking its column header. Clicking the column header again reverses the sort order.
• You can export the difference report by clicking Export Report in the HTML report page. By default, the exported file is saved in the current working directory in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format as <model name>_CMPRO.csv and <model name>_CMPRO.csv.1. Set the export_report_format configuration option to rich_text to save the report in rich text format as <model name>_CMPRO.txt and <model name>_CMPRO.txt.1. The default setting for the export_report_format configuration option is comma_delimited. The <model name>_CMPRO.csv.1 and <model name>_CMPRO.txt.1 are version files. Whenever you export the same report again, new version files are created with incremented file names and the <model name>_CMPRO.csv and <model name>_CMPRO.txt files are replaced by the latest exported file. You can open the exported files in Microsoft Excel.
