To run an item differences report
1. Do one of the following:
In the GUI, select one or more items, and select Item > Historical > Run Report As Of.
In the Web interface, select one or more items, click and select Run item differences report.
The Run Report As Of dialog box displays.
* 
You can also run a compare to base time report through the Relationships View.
2. From the list of reports, select the report you want to run.
3. In the Run Report As Of box, select the applicable option from the list. You can run an item report based on date or edit. Your selection will be the base point in time that you want to compare the other report (and its base time) against. Depending on the selection, the box is populated with the corresponding date or edit selection options.
4. Select Compare To Report As Of. Date is the default selection in the As Of drop list so a calendar displays allowing you to select the date of the report you want to compare. If you select another option, the corresponding date or edit selection options display.
5. Click OK. If you are comparing HTML reports, a report showing the results of the comparison displays in your default browser. Differences between the reports are highlighted.
If you are comparing XML reports, the Visual Difference window displays the results of the comparison between the two reports. Differences between the reports are highlighted.
