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 Viewer 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 Viewer 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!
