FastMap file format requirements
In version 9.0, FastMap supports
.xlsx
files only. The .xls
file type is no longer supported.
- The default export template is now in .xlsx format. The existing
.xls file is not removed but is no longer used.
If you customized DefaultTemplate.xls, download it, re-save it as an .xlsx file by using Microsoft Excel, and then upload your DefaultTemplate.xlsx file.
Note: The filename must be DefaultTemplate.xlsx. - If you use object-specific export templates, update them to .xlsx format.
(Download them, re-save them as .xlsx files by using Microsoft Excel, and then upload them.)
If an object-specific template is in .xls format, the DefaultTemplate.xlsx is used.
- FastMap import files must be in .xlsx format. If you need to import a file from an older environment, save the file as .xlsx, then import it.
- The .xlsx format supports a greater number of columns and rows. For more information, see the Microsoft Excel documentation.
Note: Performance is expected to be slower with .xlsx files due to the
characteristics of the .xlsx file type. This performance issue is not specific
to OpenPages.
