Excel Add-in Authentication method settings (applicable to PPT as well?)

Hi,

As an add-in user I would like to be able to change the authentication settings anytime after the first installation attempt.

This is because while a number of users might be able to install an Add-In on their machine with non admin rights they would not be able to uninstall it.

This means that if a user is providing the wrong URL during setup they will not be able to change the settings. As such they would need to uninstall the Add-in and Re-install it again (often leading to a ticket request with their IT department).

If I remember rightly this was a feature in previous add-in versions that is not present in the latest release ? It would be helpful to apply the same to the PPT Add-in, if relevant.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot @Alessio_Pagliano for your suggestion. You are right this was the case in Excel Add-in 2.6.

Great news, this is on our roadmap for both Excel and PowerPoint add-ins, so it should be coming in the next few months.

Allow non-WSAs to view source module name in UX.
When a user clicks the ellipsis in a grid card they should be able to see the name of the source module. This empowers end users with the ability to connect to the source data they see in the UX to the module in the backend. It also enables end users to pull the data into Google Sheets or Excel.
A function that identifies all saved views which filters are broken
I would like the function to identify all saved views which filters are broken(error).
Add feature to “Use Account Style Drilling” in AnaplanXL Grids
This feature to display children above the parent when drilling in is available in AnaplanXL freeform but not grids. This would be a useful feature in Grids as well. As a user, I would expect to have same/similar functionality between Grids and Freeform.
