Configuration Settings
The following configuration settings are available to administrative users on the Configuration page in your ExportZen Studio, which you can access via Site Settings / ExportZen / Configuration Settings (or by typing a URL like http://my/share/point/_layouts/roxority_ExportZen/default.aspx — just be sure to replace http://my/share/point with a valid full Site Collection URL pointing to your SharePoint system).
Each setting has a global value scoped to the SharePoint server farm, and this value can optionally be overridden on the Site Collection level. The following settings are available:
User Interface Language
ExportZen has been localized for multiple languages. Changing this setting affects all ExportZen user interfaces except captions and descriptions of Features, List Templates, Column Types, Content Types or Web Part Templates (those are always loaded directly by SharePoint based on the current Web Site locale).
You can pick one of the following options on the Configuration page in the ExportZen Studio:
- (Like site, or English)
- English
- Deutsch
- Francais
Hide (2007) or disable (2010) the out-of-box 'Export to Excel' command
By default, your ExportZen action commands co-exist together with the built-in, out-of-box 'Export to Excel' command. If you intend to fully replace that functionality with ExportZen, you can whether and when to show (2007) / enable (2010) the built-in, out-of-box 'Export to Excel' command (affects both both the SharePoint 2007 List Actions tool-bar menu item and the ribbon button in the SharePoint 2010 'Connect and Export' section of the List Tools ribbon tab).
You can pick one of the following options on the Configuration page in the ExportZen Studio:
- Never
- Only if CSV export actions exist
- Always
Show the 'CSV Export' menu in the SharePoint 2010 ribbon
By default, ExportZen adds a drop-down menu to the SharePoint 2010 List ribbon (under 'Connect and Export') that provides access to all your CSV export actions applicable to the current List. You can customize whether and when to show this menu.
You can pick one of the following options on the Configuration page in the ExportZen Studio:
- Always (requires activated Site Collection feature)
- Only if CSV export actions exist
- Never
In the ribbon menu, show a 'New export action' command
By default, in addition to all CSV exports applicable to the current List, a menu item is included in the ExportZen ribbon menu that lets the end user create a new CSV export action. You can customize whether and when to show that option.
You can pick one of the following options on the Configuration page in the ExportZen Studio:
- Always (requires activated Site Collection feature)
- Only if no CSV export actions exist
- Never
By default, no inclusion of jQuery library v1.4.2 (NOT recommended)
Some ExportZen end user-facing artifacts require (and load into the respective host pages) the jQuery library, version 1.4.2. Embedding jQuery more than once in a single page can cause JavaScript warnings in Internet Explorer with some few jQuery plugins (and only if any are used in your farm at all). On the Configuration page in the ExportZen Studio, tick this check box only if your master pages, web pages or third-party extensions also already include jQuery globally (not just on some individual pages) and independently of ExportZen to prevent ExportZen from loading jQuery too. If you do so, you need to make sure jQuery 1.4.2 or higher is loaded on each page hosting also hosting ExportZen user interface artifacts, or ExportZen will appear broken. This is a global default setting that can be optionally overridden locally where applicable.
