When designing new products or digging into the hazard data associated with materials from different suppliers, a comparison of inventory information can help show you where one product stands out, for better or worse. 

3E Exchange Team users can create comparisons of two products or materials on-the-fly, export the raw substance and material data, and save the result to check out again later. You can also share meaningful inventory comparisons with other members of your team.
​

To create a comparison go to your Materials or Products library, select two inventories, select the "Actions" drop-down, and "Compare."

The top section of your new comparison is a collection of charts summarizing Product % by LT Score and List Memberships for the substances and linked materials within your inventories. 

The bottom section of the comparison is a differential of the substances and linked materials where you can dig further into which substances and materials are responsible for the scores you see.

Within your comparison, you can:

By clicking Save, you will save the comparison relationship to be viewed again at a later time. You can view your own and your team's saved comparisons at any time by clicking Design Tools in the navigation sidebar.
​

By clicking Share, you can send a link to your comparison to a member of your team by email, and include a custom message for your colleague. Sharing comparisons is a great way to spread the word on beneficial substitutions or inventories needing more attention.

Sharing a comparison will automatically save the comparison, and you will be able to revisit it at any time by clicking Design Tools in the navigation sidebar.
​

If you want to dig further into your comparison or create your own graphs, click Export to generate a .csv file containing the raw summary data of the comparison.
