You choose the two reference dates for the comparison yourself. The tab shows the evaluations for both reference dates side by side. This way you can see how risks, opportunities and control assessments in the Process Space have changed between the two points in time.

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

You are a **Risk Manager** or **BPM Manager**.

## What is the Comparison tab used for? [#what-is-the-comparison-tab-used-for]

- You compare two points in time across all risk analyses: assessment matrix, risk categories and control assessments.
- This lets you monitor how risks, opportunities and control assessments develop in the Process Space.

## Structure of the Comparison tab [#structure-of-the-comparison-tab]

The tab shows the cards **Risk Matrix** or **Opportunity Matrix**, **Risks by Category** and **Control Assessments**.

The values of both reference dates are displayed in each case.

You can switch the assessment matrix between the risk matrix and the opportunity matrix by clicking the toggle icon.

You can click cards whose icon is highlighted or that carry a link. They then show the details with the respective processes, which you can access from there by clicking.

## How to proceed [#how-to-proceed]

1. In the main menu, select **Risks**.

   The **Risk Management** page appears.
2. Select the **Comparison** tab.

   The cards of the tab appear.
3. Under **Compare assessment from**, click in the **Select date** date field and specify the first reference date.
4. Under **with assessment from**, click in the **Select date** date field and specify the second reference date.

   The cards show the values of both reference dates side by side.
5. To restrict the comparison to part of the process landscape, set the **Filter** to a level of the process hierarchy.

   The risk analyses of all processes below this level are compared, whether they are located directly on it or on a lower level.
