Settings File Customisation

Revision as of 07:47, 15 December 2022 by Csalter (talk | contribs)

XLCubed Excel Edition keeps all of its settings in a configuration file stored in the user's Application Data folder. This can be found here:

%appdata%\XLCubed Ltd\XLCubed Excel Edition\settings.xml

For a typical Windows installation, this will translate to:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XLCubed Ltd\XLCubed Excel Edition\settings.xml

In order to customise the file for distribution to other users, you can open the XLCubed add-in in Excel and change any settings that you desire, for example:

  • Grid defaults
  • Connections
  • Favourite Grids
  • XLCubed Web server addresses
  • XLCubed Options

When you close Excel, the file will be updated, and can then be sent to other users, or including in a custom installation script.

Admin controlled

From Version 10.0.149 there are two additional files that can be added to the XLCubed installation folder (C:/Program Files (x86)/XLCubed Ltd/XLCubed):

defaults.xml - will setup the default settings, the user can override them settings.xml - will force these settings, users can not change them

The format of the file is the same as the %appdata% version, you only need to include the settings you want to change/set. This is particularly important for the forced settings; only include those settings that you want to force onto the users.
