This is the primary log created by the comparison. It contains useful statistics about the differences, or delta, between the two dictionaries.
The following is an annotated example:

Short for Delta Document Attribute List Statistics, this file contains useful statistics about the Attribute By Document Delta comparison. Each document that exists in BOTH dictionaries will have an entry in this file. If the attributes matched exactly, the entry will be a single line beginning with the word IDENTICAL. If the attributes did not match exactly, the entry will consist of two spaced lines: the document ID surrounded by dashes followed by the statistics of the delta.
For example:
IDENTICAL ------ 55 matching xpaths in PKGD.Addendum-CrossCollateral IDENTICAL ------ 55 matching xpaths in PKGD.AddendumEscrow IDENTICAL ------ 69 matching xpaths in PKGD.Addendum-PreferredRate-ClosedEnd
------------ PKGD.AddendumToLoanApplication-HE ------------ 19 same, 32 new, 19 removed.
IDENTICAL ------ 49 matching xpaths in PKGD.AdjustableRateMortgageNoticeOfRateChange IDENTICAL ------ 83 matching xpaths in PKGD.Affidavit-BusinessPurpose-MI IDENTICAL ------ 74 matching xpaths in PKGD.Affidavit-BusinessPurpose-PA
This file reports all new and removed attributes. The following columns will appear, followed by any defined custom metadata attributes.
| Delta | This column indicates Added or Removed. |
| XPath | The full xpath of the attribute. |
| Prompt | The prompt this attribute will display in the Document Viewer application. |
| Data Type | Data type of the attribute. |
| Enum Count | Count of enumerations. |
| Enumerations | List of enumerations this attribute can have separated by a semicolon and space. |
| Description | Description of the attribute. |
| Doc Count | If added, the count of documents in the compare dictionary this attribute occurs on. If removed, the count of documents this attribute was removed from. |
| Documents | If added, the list of documents in the compare dictionary this attribute occurs on. If removed, the list of documents this attribute was removed from. |
If the custom metadata attributes are defined differently in the two dictionaries, they will both appear in the column heading separated by a dash “ – “. For example, if the first dictionary has one custom metadata attribute defined as Source Data Element and the second has one custom metadata attribute defined as CSV Field Name, the column heading would read Source Data Element - CSV Field Name. If in this same example the second dictionary didn’t have any custom metadata defined, the column heading would display as Source Data Element - . If in this same example the second dictionary has one custom attribute and they matched (case insensitive) the column heading would display as Source Data Element.
This file contains the metadata comparison results for any attributes that exist in both dictionaries. Only attributes where a change was detected are written to this file. Each entry consists of two lines: Was and Now. The Was row will contain a single tick ‘ indicating it was a match to the Now row. A blank column in the Was row indicates it was blank before but is not blank in the the Now row. The same metadata column headings appear in this file that were described for the All Attribute Delta.csv file. The following metadata attributes are compared for change:
