Publishing Configuration

Before datasheets can be published, a number of configuration options must be specified.

Select Setup > Export to External System Configuration from the Project tab. The Export to External System Configuration window is then displayed:

1. In the Publishing folder field, enter the folder into which datasheets are to be published, or click … and browse for it.

2. If PDF versions of published files are to be generated using Excel, in addition to the published Excel files, check Publish as PDF.

3. If PDF versions of published files are to be generated using a PDF generator other than the Excel PDF writer, in the Executable to handle publishing field, enter the name and location of the executable file that will handle the publishing, or click … and browse for it. If Publish as PDF is checked, this setting will be ignored.

4. For each published datasheet, an XML file containing selected datasheet data is also produced in the publishing folder. To select the datasheet data that the XML file will include, click Add. A blank row is added to the area below this button. From the drop down list in this row, select the required datasheet data. Repeat for each type of datasheet data required.

5. To delete a row, select it and click Delete. A message will be displayed requesting that the deletion be confirmed. Click Yes.

6. If no fields are selected, the XML files are not generated.

7. To save configuration changes and exit the window, click Save.

8. To exit the window without saving any changes, click Cancel.
