Actions for changes in Reconcile

  • Last update on September 26th, 2024

In addition to comparing results, Reconcile provides tools to make changes to your configurations
Changes are then deployed from a baseline/downstream tenant to another baseline/downstream tenant.

Where can I perform the actions?

Actions can be performed in two areas: the comparison results list and the search bar.

What actions are available?

The actions vary depending on the section.
You can perform actions to change the configurations using the purple checkboxes. Actions can be performed at both the Configuration Type level and the individual configuration level.

Actions can be performed both at “Configuration Type” and “Configuration” levels. 

Be careful! The actions to perform behave differently in each section.

 

 If you hover over the checkboxes, you will see the available actions for that status.

Hovering over the checkbox will show the available actions.

Additionally, for some sections, there are extra actions available under “Advanced Options”.

Example of Advances Options available in some sections. 

Here is an overview of the available actions for each section:

Note regarding the names of the tenants

For readability reasons, we will call:

  • downstream tenant: the tenant we want to compare
  • baseline tenant: the tenant chosen for comparison
Visual representation of where the tenant we want to compare and the tenant we are comparing it to are located.

However, the various comparison options presented in the article Set what to compare remain valid.
