Command ===> _________________________________________________________________

Enter "/" to select option   
 _ Include prefix (Display analysis statistics & banner) 
 _ Data filtering (Filter data from merged versions)   
 _ Fade in/out (Surround changes with common lines)   
 _ Upper case (Convert user input to upper case)

The following table describes the information that you can enter on the Version Editing Options panel.

Field Description
Include prefix YES or No to display statistics about the reconciliation. The Include Prefix option suppresses or enables the display of the statistics regarding the complexity of the new reconciliation effort. It also prevents or enables display of team or individual banners (if any) that follow the analysis table.
Data filtering The Data Filtering option controls the deletion of records of specified type. If it is switched from YES to NO, all requests for filtering certain records from the Merged versions are nullified. While it stays NO, the workflow of the creation and updating of M+R projects does not include the Merged Data Filters panel for user input. If it is switched from NO to YES and while it is YES, the workflow of the creation and updating of M+R projects include the Merged Data Filters panel for user input.
Fade in/out The Fade In/Out option allows the changes to be displayed within a context. If you want to browse the differences between the Base and one (or more) derivative versions, you can issue a View ID primary command that displays all the Base records and the changes made to them in the derivative(s). You can then issue an eXclude Base command to concentrate the view on the changes but now they will be displayed without any context. However, if Fade In/Out is set to YES, each change will be displayed with common (unchanged) records surrounding it—these records provide the context for that change. The Fade In/Out option takes effect when the eXclude Base command is issued.
Upper case The Upper Case option ensures an auto-conversion of the user input to UPPER CASE as certain languages and/or compilers can process only upper case text. By default, all the editing during the reconciliation is done in a case-sensitive manner, that is, without changes.
