Snippet Dialog

The Snippet dialog allows you to automate frequently performed spreadsheet tasks by exporting groups of pre-configured cells, saved as a Cell Data (.CXD) file, to the Snippets folder on the PC. The snippet is then imported into the spreadsheet. Alternately, snippets can be imported by dragging-and-dropping the snippet directly from the Tool Palette into the spreadsheet.

Export Snippets

1. Select the cell(s) whose data you would like to export.

2. From the File menu, click Snippet > Export, or alternately, right-click on the cell(s) whose data you would like to export and select Snippet > Export from the shortcut menu.

   

3. Choose the location where you want to save the exported snippet.

4. To save the active cell(s) as a new file, enter a name inside the File name: text box and click Save. To replace an existing file, select that file from the list and click Save (this will overwrite any data contained in the file). In-Sight Explorer automatically appends the .CXD file extension to all exported cells.

   Note: Beginning with In-Sight Explorer 4.4.1, if a job has been protected, a drop-down menu option, Encryption, will become enabled. There are two options: Fast (default) and Legacy. The Fast option reduces job-related delays, especially with large job files; the Legacy option is used for jobs that must be compatible with In-Sight vision systems running 4.4.0 or earlier. The Encryption drop-down is set to the current encryption option used by the job.

Import Snippets

1. Select an empty cell.

2. From the File menu, click Snippet > Import, or alternately, right-click on the cell and select Snippet > Import from the shortcut menu.

   

3. Choose the location that contains the snippet to open.
4. Highlight the desired file and click Open. Alternately, you can double-click the snippet file or type in the file name.
