CompareWare combines two useful methods for comparing events through Conjunctive Query and HAWK. However, due to the differences in method, they are accessed in different places within Database Functions.

Query by Field is a button the the navigation pane (the column of buttons on the left side of the Database Function screen). Once selected, a blank event reporting form appears. Only those data elements the QA SysOp wishes to match against are entered onto the form and submitted.

To access HAWK, an existing event report must be open. The link to HAWK is at the top of the event reporting form. The QA SysOp will click on the link to run the program.
