EXCEL SERVER TYPES is a branch on the configuration Tree in the Compute Server Tool.

EXCEL SERVER TYPES is a parent to EXCEL SERVER TYPE objects.

By specifying a name for an EXCEL SERVER TYPE an Administrator may group certain types of Excel Servers.

For example Excel Servers might be grouped:

• By differing Excel versions
• By type of Excel add-in needed for an EASAP
• By preload enabled or not enabled

An Excel Server may associate with one or more EXCEL SERVER TYPEs via the Compute Server Config Tool via COMPUTE SERVER LIST > LOCAL EXCEL SERVER > Excel Server Types:

An Author will specify a particular EXCEL SERVER TYPE on the Tree via the EASAP Builder via SPREADSHEET LIST > SPREADSHEET > Excel Server Type:

Create two EXCEL SERVER TYPEs:

• excel_server_type1
• excel_server_type2

Bind an Excel Server to one of them:

• Select COMPUTE SERVER LIST > LOCAL EXCEL SERVER
• Set Excel Server Types: excel_server_type1
