| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
Both options process the xlsx files in the same way, with the difference being in how xls files is handled. | Legacy |
| Maximum xslx file size | Enter the maximum size of the Excel file to be processed, in MBs. If a user tries to upload a file larger than the specified size, an error message is displayed. | 1 |
| Maximum rows limit | Enter the maximum number of rows that the macro must process. Any remaining rows are truncated. | |
| Restrict URL access | The 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. | false |
| Help Us Improve the Product | Enabling this option reports usage data that helps us improve the app continually. The app does not send any private user data or personally identifiable information. To learn more about what is being sent, refer to Analytics Data. | true |
