Include equal rows | Specifies if rows that match are sent to SentryOne Test. By default, only rows that differ or exist on only one side of the comparison are sent. |
Expected results grid | The grid of expected results, the result set that we want our test to match. A previous action loads the grid to a specific resource key. |
Comparison manifest asset | The comparison manifest asset that determines the items to compare. |
