Excel File Format

By default, the export to MS Excel feature saves the file in xls format. To reconfigure this option to use xlsx format, a DiveLine administrator or developer can change the default output format in the NetDiver context file located in your Apache Tomcat directory.

To change the export to Excel format to xlsx:

1. Edit the NetDiver context file located in your Apache Tomcat directory. The path for this file is typically:

   C:\di\Tomcat\Tomcat 9.0\conf\Catalina\localhost\netdiver.xml

   NOTE: The location of this file can vary, depending on the name of the NetDiver instance, Tomcat installation location, or the hardware for the DiveLine server.

2. Add the following line to this file:

   <Parameter name="netdiver.save-to-excel-as-xlsx" value="true"/>

3. Save the file.

IMPORTANT: The Tomcat service must be restarted in order for the change to take effect.

NOTE: You still use the same export to XLS button, but the output is in xlsx format.
