Depending on your configuration, a system policy comparison report can contain one or more sections.
The following sample graphic displays the Policy Information, User Detection Settings, and Time
Synchronization sections of a system policy comparison report, and lists the configuration for each rule

detail. Note that the Value A and Value B columns represent the policies or policy revisions you
configured in the comparison view.
