Tulip allows users to exclude specific differences between elements across application connections during comparisons. This helps to focus on meaningful changes by ignoring selected discrepancies that are not relevant for the comparison process, or differences which are expected such as endpoint URLs, emails, or other credentials.
Hiding elements from comparisons
Users can hide elements during the Element Selection deployment phase.
Hidden elements will not show up in comparisons across all of the organization's application connections.
💡 While only administrators can hide new elements from comparisons, non-admin team members will still have these elements hidden in their comparisons
Hide entire elements
Use this to hide configuration elements which should only exist in one application connection, but not another.
To do this, in the Element Selection view, click the ellipsis (...) next to the element you wish to hide, then choose whether to hide it or all elements from its type.
Hide specific differences within elements
Use this to hide specific values which should be different between application connections.
An element will not show up in the table if it only has hidden differences within it.
To do this, in the Element Selection view, find the element with differences you want to hide and open it. Then, click on the difference to reveal the option to hide it:
Viewing hidden elements
When some elements have been hidden from your comparison, you'll see their number in the top right corner of the table. You can toggle the view to include or exclude hidden elements.
Reviewing exclusions
Users can review the current exclusions in the Settings->"Comparison Exclusions" view.
From this screen you can view active exclusions, and remove them if necessary
