ParameterDescription
Default output type

Specify the output format for the Visio diagram. The options are as follows:

  • default - Display output in the format that has been chosen as the default for this Confluence instance.
  • best - Display output in the best format applicable for the system and browser used. This means using the Visio control on Internet Explorer (IE) or IE tab capable browsers and a converted image (if available) otherwise.
  • visio - Display using the IE Visio control. This requires IE or IE tab capable browser on Windows.
  • svg - Display as a SVG image converted from the Visio diagram. Only available if conversion support has been enabled on your Confluence installation.
Restrict URL access

Enable this option to restrict access to remote locations through the URL to Visio file parameter in the Visio macro. The specified URLs in the macro editors must conform to the Confluence Whitelist; provided, whitelisting is enabled.

Confluence allows the administrator to turn on whitelisting to restrict incoming and outgoing connections to only those connections that are configured in the Whitelist settings. If enabled, the URL to Visio file parameter for the Visio macro is also restricted to only URLs that are configured in the Whitelist settings for Confluence.

Blacklist domains

Enable this option to blacklist certain domains. By default, this option is disabled for backward compatibility.

If enabled, and if a request from any of these sites is received, an error message is displayed. However, if users still need to access a blacklisted site, they must contact their administrator to disable this option.

Note

If this option is disabled, access to all domains is permitted!

Click the link named listed (in the description beneath the option) to view a pre-defined list of the most commonly blacklisted domains in a pop-up window. The following sites are blacklisted:

Profiles

ParameterDescription
Profile name

Enter a name for the profile. Profile names given here are populated in the Profile field in the macro editor.

Note

This name must be unique; else, the details specified overwrites the details of the existing profile. This may cause errors in pages where the profile is used.


Profile type

The default option for this parameter is URL

Info

Currently, only URLs are supported for use in profiles. In the upcoming releases, the support will be extended to access Visio files in other applications such as GitLab and GitHub.


URL

Enter the URL of the remote location to be accessed. It is recommended to provide the base URL here. 

Note

A raw URL must be provided in URL to the Visio file in the respective macros' editorsmacro editor. A raw URL is defined as the part of the URL following the domain information and includes the query string, if present. For example, in the URL string http://www.contoso.com/articles/recent.aspx, the raw URL is /articles/recent.aspx.


User; Password

Enter the username and password, if required, to access the specified URL. 

Note

Specify either the User and Password parameters or the Access token, as an access token is also a means of user authentication. It is recommended to use either of the user authentication methods but not both.


Access token

Enter an access token or an API token for the application or service to be connected with. 

Note

If this parameter is specified, ensure that the User and Password parameters are left empty. It is recommended to use either of the user authentication methods but not both.

Each application has its own method of generating tokens. Access tokens or API tokens are a means of user authentication; so, if mentioned, this token is used for authentication instead of using user credentials.

  • Tokens are generated for a user after the application or service to be connected verifies the user's credentials. 
  • Enter the generated token here for a seamless connection between the app's macros and the application or service.

For example, refer to this article to generate for information about generating a personal access token for Bitbucket.

URL parametersMention any extra parameters (for the query string) that must be appended to the specified URL here. 
Request headersDisplays the request headers created as per the given information. Request headers are name or value pairs that are added to the request. For example, GitHub requires the following request headers be specified: Authorization: token $accessToken, Accept:application/vnd.github.v3.raw

This field is automatically populated with a comma-separated list of name or value pairs using the provided information. If required, enter additional name or value pairs separated with commas.
