 1. Introduction to Intuition Excel Add-in
1.1 Overview
Honeywell Intuition Excel Add-in component is one of the tools available in the Intuition
application. Using the Excel Add-in, you can configure and view information related to
entities in the data source. When the Excel Add-in is installed, the necessary features are
added to enable you to work with the data or entity information available in Microsoft®
Office Excel.
To configure and view data or entity information, you must carry out a search for the
existing data or entity information based on the search criterion. One of the criteria is,
selecting the function, based on which entities are retrieved. There are three functions,
Advanced, Reporting, and Configuration.

 Advanced and Reporting – Must be selected when you want to only view data or
entity information and not modify it. The difference between these two functions is
that when you choose the Advanced function, you can only view the data or entity
information from a single table in the data source whereas, when you choose the
Reporting function, you can view data or entity information from multiple tables.
Another difference between Advanced and Reporting is, in Reporting, the Data
Reference attributes of a data or entity holds the value of the Data Reference, but in
case of Advanced, it holds the Data Reference Configuration information.

 Configuration – Must be selected when you want to insert, or modify data, or entity
information.

1.2 Audience
The document is intended for:

 Intuition developers

 Application Developers and Engineers

 Project Developers and Engineers

 Application Experts and Administrators

 Plant Operators

Step Action

7 Select one of the following Publish options:

 Click Overwrite Only Modified Data to save only the record you have
modified.
 Click Overwrite All Data to save all the records in the table.
8 Click Publish.

The Data Updated Successfully message box appears.

ATTENTION
Ensure that the name provided in the Name column for a record is unique as the
data or entity in a table is identified by the name.

Inserting or Modifying an Entity Data on a Different Computer

You can insert or modify the information for the data records in the template sheet that is
created on a different computer. For example, you have created few data records in the
template and saved it on your computer. After that, you want to insert more records in the
same sheet but you can work only on a different computer. So you have shared or sent the
template sheet. Now you can open the sheet and insert or modify the entity data. But, if the
path you have installed Excel Add-in in your computer is different from the path you have
installed in another computer, then an error message appears.

Perform the following if you see an error message after opening the sheet on a different
computer.

Step Action
1 Open the excel sheet you want to modify.
2 If the sheet was created in a different computer, two consecutive error messages
are displayed. Read through the messages and proceed.

5.2 Overview
This chapter provides information about how to localize the Intuition Excel Add-in
component.
To localize any component, you must translate the resources corresponding to the
component that are grouped and saved in a Translation Tool Project file (TTP). During
the localization process, you can choose the language in which you want to localize the
resources, from the list of languages supported by Intuition Localization tool, and add it
to the project.

5.3 Installing the Localization Tool

Localization tool is installed using the Honeywell Intuition Localization-Tool MSI
available with the Localization toolkit. If you have already installed the Intuition
Localization tool to localize the Core System component, then you can skip the
installation task and proceed to translate the resources.

REFERENCE - EXTERNAL
For installing Localization tool using Honeywell Intuition Localization-Tool
MSI, see the Honeywell Intuition Localization Tool Installation Guide available
with the Localization toolkit.

Once the installation is complete, read through the help information available
in the tool to get familiarized with the tool and some of the terms used in this
chapter.

5.4 Translating Resources

This section provides information on how to open the ttp file for Intuition Excel Add-in
component and translate the resources present in the ttp file, using the Honeywell
Intuition Localization tool.

Step Action
9 Once you translate the resource, select the Localized check box to localize
the resource string. Repeat this step to localize all the resources in the
project.

10 Choose File > Save and provide the location where you want to save the
updated project in your local machine.

The project file (ttp file) and the repository files (ttr files) are saved.
11 Send the saved ttp and ttr files for signing to
MESR&[email protected].

It is mandatory to sign all the output binaries created using ttp files as part of
Intuition Localization. For more information about signing, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537361(v=vs.85).aspx.

5.5 Output Location of Resource File

The resource dll must be copied to the target location in the corresponding language
folder. You can identify the language folder based on the language code corresponding to
the language selected to localize the resource file. A language code is unique for a
language and is displayed as the name for the language folder.
For example, if the language used to localize is English (Canada), the language folder
name is displayed as en-ca.
The target location of the resource file is listed in the table below:
Toolkit Project Resource Dll Target Location
