Collections view pane

The Collections view pane displays a summary of the analysis, arranged by type. It is best explained by example.

In this example we've placed two different Collection view panes side by side. On the left we see the results of an analysis of a deployment of Scheme changes. On the right we the results of an analysis of a deployment of Object changes. Both are fairly dramatic examples where a full customer database is being deployed, done for illustrative purposes. Typically Collection views will be simpler and contain fewer items and bad references.

Columns are as follows:
Collection
Summarises the analysis, results arranged by type. Collections are sorted as follows:
Total
The total number of items belonging to the given Collection (in XoomXML).
Diff
The number of items belonging to each Collection that are candidates for deployment (that is items where there is a difference between the XoomXML and live configuration).
Bad
The number of candidates for deployment that have bad references.
Dependencies
A comma-separated list of Collections upon which one or more items in the listed Collection depend. The dependency is only listed if the items causing the dependency are not yet in the Service Optimization database. So, for example, a XoomXML file with both a new Region and a number of new Districts that were unconnected to that Region, wouldn't show a dependency between District and Region. This is because the new Districts can be deployed independently of the new Region.
