The Reports page includes three additional report options that apply to reports generated using the Microsoft Excel output formats (i.e. Formatted Excel XLS File Report Output Format, Plain Excel XLS File Report Output Format). These are:
Use Excel to display screen reports
The Use Excel to display screen reports checkbox can be selected if you wish Microsoft Excel to launch your report when the Screen Display report output type is selected.
If you do not select the Use Excel to display screen reports checkbox, then a simple window will be launched and the report data will be displayed within it.
Note: A report with an Output Type configured as Screen Display, and for which the Use Excel to Display Screen Reports checkbox has been selected will open as a regular screen display over VIC connections.
Use separate sheets/tables
The Use separate sheets/tables checkbox can be selected if you wish Microsoft Excel to display report data using separate spreadsheets or tables.
If you do not select the Use separate sheets/tables checkbox, then the report data will be placed in a single spreadsheet or table.
Rename sheets/tables
The Rename sheets/tables checkbox can be selected if you wish the report spreadsheet(s) or table(s) to be renamed corresponding to the date and time at which the report was generated.
