ParameterDescriptionDefault
Default process option

Select an option to control the method used to process Excel files through the macro. However, depending on the way the macro is used, this setting can be overridden. The following options are available:

  • Legacy: Provides backward compatibility for xls files
  • Current: Processes Excel files with xlsx extension 

Both options process the xlsx files in the same way, with the difference being in how xls files is handled.

Maximum row limitThe maximum number of rows per worksheet to display. Leave blank to display all rows.
Restrict URL accessThe Restrict URL access parameter controls whether or not URLs conform to the Confluence Whitelist, provided whitelisting is enabled. Confluence allows administrators to turn on whitelisting to restrict access to URLs configured in the Whitelist settings.false
Blacklist domains

This option controls whether or not certain domains are blacklisted. 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. 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.
