# Use the IsEqual component

# Use the IsEqual component {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Check whether two string objects have the same value by using the IsEqual component
in RPA Desktop Design Studio.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## About this task

You can configure the properties for the IsEqual component. For more information
about these properties, see [Properties of the String Utilities components](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/T2CwwgGDMWnWXB0oo5BP8A "Learn about the properties of the String Utilities components in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").

## Procedure

1. In the Toolbox pane, navigate to UtilitiesString Utilities.
2. Drag the IsEqual component to the Design surface.
3. To configure the input fields, see [Configure port properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/o6fErdzBCUqYUWlLG1ZZzQ "Configure how data is passed to the input fields of a component or method in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").  
   Note:  
   The component considers the case of the string values as it performs a case-sensitive comparison.
4. Connect the data and control ports of the IsEqual component to the corresponding ports of the other components as described in the following table.  
   {#use-stringutil-isequal__table_jnw_jn1_krb__entry__3}

   | Port type | Purpose of connection | Mandatory? |
   |-|-|-|
   | Data In (Text1) | Takes the first of the two strings that the component compares from a previously executed component. | Yes |
   | Data In (Text2) | Takes the last of the two strings that the component compares from a previously executed component. | yes |
   | Data Out (Boolean) | Returns the Boolean value indicating whether the strings matched and passes to the next component. | Yes |
   | Control In | Connects to the Control Out port of one or more components. | Yes |
   | Control Out | Connects to the Control In port of another component or the default end component. | No |
