With the Open in Office feature, you are able to easily edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations in the native applications installed on your client, without keeping a local copy.
By default, there are 4 labels displayed for corresponding file types as below:
| Label | File types |
|---|---|
Open in Word | docx, doc, docm, dot, dotm, dotx. |
Open in Excel | xltx, xltm, xlt, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb, xls, xll, xlam, xla. |
Open in Powerpoint | pptx, pptm, ppt, ppsx, ppsm, pps, ppam, ppa, potx, potm, pot |
Open on Desktop | Non-MS Office files, such as Open Document text files (odp, ods, odt, and more) or archive files (zip, rar, war, and more). |
As an administrator, you can easily configure the file types associated with the application named as in "Open in Word", and set a new label via exo.properties file.
exo.remote-edit.$CATEGORY=$SET_OF_FILETYPES exo.remove-edit.$CATEGORY.label=$LABEL
Replace $CATEGORY with any text as you want, but it should represent the application in correspondence to the file types defined in $SET_OF_FILETYPES.
Replace $LABEL with the application label that will be displayed in the UI, for example "Word" or "MS Word".
Here are some examples:
Changing the default labels from "Open in Word", "Open in Excel", and "Open in Powerpoint" into "Open in MS Word", "Open in MS Excel" and "Open in MS Powerpoint":
#MS Word exo.remote-edit.word=docx,doc,docm,dot,dotm,dotx exo.remote-edit.word.label=MS Word #MS Excel exo.remote-edit.excel=xltx,xltm,xlt,xlsx,xlsm,xlsb,xls,xll,xlam,xla exo.remote-edit.excel.label=MS Excel #MS Powerpoint exo.remote-edit.powerpoint=pptx,pptm,ppt,ppsx,ppsm,pps,ppam,ppa,potx,potm,pot exo.remote-edit.powerpoint.label=MS Powerpoint
Adding a new label "Open in LibreOffice" for some Open Document Text file types:
exo.remote-edit.libreoffice=odp,ods,odt exo.remote-edit.libreoffice.label=LibreOffice
Setting a new label "Open in Writer" for some both Word and Open Document Text file types:
exo.remote-edit.writer=docx,doc,odm,odt exo.remote-edit.writer.label=Writer
