Spreadsheet entities are used to retrieve data from the database and store it in a spreadsheet file. To run a spreadsheet entity, click on the link that runs the spreadsheet entity, located on a menu or other entity. The spreadsheet file will be generated and displayed in the appropriate spreadsheet file reader.
When a spreadsheet is run from the browser, depending on the browser and the operating system, the spreadsheet can open in the browser or can launch an outside helper application, such as Microsoft Excel, in which to display the spreadsheet. For example, some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows may open the spreadsheet in the browser, however, it is likely that newer versions will open in Microsoft Excel (as this is a security patch from Microsoft).
