The following table describes the other menu options on the Member Reconciliation menu.
Numeric Key | Menu Option | Function |
---|---|---|
2 | Execute | M+R compares and merges the versions, then displays them for you to browse and edit; that is, to reconcile. |
3 | Save | This option is rarely used. M+R automatically saves the edits when you exit from the Reconcile panel. |
4 | Load | If you want to continue a reconciliation effort started previously, choose this option. M+R will load and verify your work. |
5 | Edit | After a LOAD or an exit from the Reconcile panel, you can return to your current reconciliation work by choosing this option. |
5P | Produces a copy of the last view of the reconciliation file with all the information about the type and origin of changes that you see on the Reconcile panel. You can direct the formatted file to a printer. |
|
6 | Export | When you decide that you have completed your reconciliation, choose this option. M+R extracts and writes the consolidated member to the export file that you have specified in your profile. |
6P | Exp print | Produces a printout of what is going to be extracted at this point in time should you choose option 6 (EXPORT). |
7 | Analysis | At any time, you can invoke this option to follow the progress of your reconciliation: what is the current Degree of Complexity, how many conflicts you have resolved, how many are left, etc. |
7P | Anl print | Produces a printout of the Analysis information that you would see by choosing option 7 (ANALYSIS). |
