Comparing Source Records From One Source System

To compare source records directly without accessing them from an object profile, you need to know the system and local ID numbers for the records. On the Source Record page, you can only compare records that originated from the same system.

Figure shows two profiles in a side-by-side comparison
with differences between the two highlighted.
