The Excel Data Manager offers you a quick overview of all connected Excel objects. All status information is displayed here in a list area. The Excel data manager also contains a menu area above the list area and a page area with additional functions, which also offers additional help content. When working with firesys, Excel contents can be connected to Word in different configurations (the so-called data object options). This data-object relationship defines the structural alignment of the individual Excel objects (for example, as a linked table element or data in a text object). You can already get an overview of the configuration of the individual Excel objects in the list view using symbols.
On the sample screen, a maximum configuration of all possible variants is prepared. The individual icons are then explained.
