Comparisons in Phoenix allow you to easily view previously created storepoints side-by-side with the current schedule revision of your project. Click on Comparisons in the Schedule menu to open the Comparisons dialog.

Clicking the dropdown box at the top of the dialog will show you a list of available storepoints that you can use for comparison. To compare the current version of the schedule with a previously created storepoint, select the desired storepoint from the dropdown box and then click the Add button. The storepoint you selected will appear in the list of comparisons.

There are several pieces of information shown for each version used in the comparison:

• Key: The main version that the other versions will be compared against.
• Version: The version/revision number.
• Color: This is the color that all schedule elements for this version will have. You can change this to make the comparison more readable. The key comparison will always be set to the current Bar Activity color.
• List Name: This is the name that will be shown in the Activity List when the Storepoint column is shown. By default it will be named the same as the version. You can change this to be more descriptive if you would like.
• Description: The name of the storepoint.

Using the Move Up and Move Down buttons you can change the order in which the versions are shown for the comparison.

Clicking Remove will remove the selected storepoint from the list.

These comparisons are only visible when you are using the Barchart View. After you have created a comparison, you will see the activities stacked with each of the compared schedule revisions in the same order as configured in the Comparisons dialog. When you select an activity, you will notice that both the current version and the compared revisions are selected. If you show the Storepoint column in the Activity List, you will also see the List Name assigned to the schedule version.
