NAME

RT-Extension-ExcelFeed

DESCRIPTION

This extenstion allows you to generate RT reports in MS Excel XSLX format. It provides two ways to do this. First, it adds a new MS Excel option to the 'Feeds' menu on the Query Builder search results page. It also adds an option to the Dashboard subscription page that allows you to have scheduled dashboards emailed to recipients as attached MS Excel files rather than inline HTML reports.
