EXCEL ADVANCED PROPERTIES

Field

Description

Digital Signature

This option is available for Table and Summary exports and allows you to embed the currently selected digital signature to the exported Excel file (XLSX/XLSM). By adding a digital signature, you establish the authenticity, integrity, and non repudiation of the export output.

Certificate...

Select this button to display a Select Certificate dialog. Options will allow you to digitally sign with a valid X.509 Certificate (an existing Certificate selected from the Current User's Certificate Store or from a Certificate file).

Filter: Add AutoFilter drop down lists to column labels in the Table

This option enables the Excel AutoFilter feature, ready and active when you open the exported Excel file.

Note: Monarch Complete does not apply an AutoFilter when it adds data to an existing worksheet. Overwriting an existing sheet falls into this category. In this case it preserves the worksheet (since there may well be hidden data, macros, etc, associated with the worksheet) and overwrites the old named range data with new named range data. Since two AutoFilters cannot exist on the same worksheet, Monarch Complete makes no assumptions regarding an existing AutoFilter and does not apply one.
