-Comparison
-==========
-
-Certain reporting dashboards include a :guilabel:`Comparison` section in the drop-down menus of
-their search bars. This includes the :doc:`Overall Equipment Effectiveness
-<../inventory_and_mrp/manufacturing/reporting/oee>` report for the **Manufacturing** app and the
-:doc:`Purchase <../inventory_and_mrp/purchase/advanced/analyze>` report for the **Purchase** app,
-among others.
-
-The options in the :icon:`fa-adjust` :guilabel:`Comparison` section are used to compare data from
-two different time periods. Pick between the two comparison options: :guilabel:`(Time Filter):
-Previous Period` and :guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Year`.
-
-.. important::
-   For some reports, the :guilabel:`Comparison` section **only** appears in the search bar drop-down
-   menu if one (or more) time periods have been selected in the :guilabel:`Filters` column. This is
-   because there is nothing to compare if no time period is specified.
-
-   Additionally, some reports only allow use of the :guilabel:`Comparison` feature when the
-   :icon:`fa-pie-chart` :guilabel:`(Pie Chart)` graph type or the :icon:`oi-view-pivot`
-   :guilabel:`(Pivot)` view, is selected. A :guilabel:`Comparison` option can be selected even if
-   another view is enabled, but doing so does **not** change the way data is displayed on the
-   report.

-
-To view data using one of the two comparisons, begin by selecting a time period in the
-:guilabel:`Filters` column of the search bar drop-down menu. Then, select either :guilabel:`(Time
-Filter): Previous Period` or :guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Year` in the :guilabel:`Comparison`
-section.
-
-With one of the :guilabel:`Comparison` options enabled, the report compares the data for the
-selected period, with the data for the same unit of time (month, quarter, year), one period or year
-prior. The way the data is displayed depends on the selected view:
-
-- The :icon:`fa-bar-chart` :guilabel:`(Bar Chart)` shows two bars, side-by-side, for each unit of
-  time for the selected time period. The left bar represents the selected time period, while the
-  right bar represents the previous time period.
-- The :icon:`fa-line-chart` :guilabel:`(Line Chart)` is displayed with two lines, one representing
-  the selected time period, and the other representing the previous time period.
-- The :icon:`fa-pie-chart` :guilabel:`(Pie Chart)` appears as a large circle with a smaller circle
-  inside. The larger circle represents the selected time period, while the smaller circle represents
-  the previous time period.
-- The :icon:`oi-view-pivot` :guilabel:`(Pivot)` is displayed with each column split into two smaller
-  columns. The right column represents the selected time period, while the left column represents
-  the previous time period.
-
-.. example::
-   In the :guilabel:`Production Analysis` report of the :menuselection:`Manufacturing` app, data for
-   the second quarter of 2024 is compared to data for the second quarter of 2023. :guilabel:`Q2` is
-   selected in the :guilabel:`End Date` filter section of the search bar drop-down
-   menu. In the :guilabel:`Comparison` section, :guilabel:`End Date: Previous Year` is selected.
-
-   The current year is 2024, so the larger circle shows data for the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.
-   The smaller circle shows data for the second quarter (Q2) of 2023, which is the same time period,
-   but one *year* prior.
-
-   If :guilabel:`End Date: Previous Period` is selected instead, the smaller circle shows data for
-   the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, which is the same time period, but one *period* prior.
