infra CONVERT allows you to export the contents of a test plan directly into a Microsoft Excel workbook. All you need is an excel template file (.XLT) formatted as described below and Microsoft Excel on the computer on which the export is performed. Using the template, infra CONVERT creates an Excel file (.XLSX, more file formats coming soon) with the test plan parameters you specify.
The supplied test report templates are installed by default in the location opposite.

Excel templates can be set up and formatted according to your wishes. You can customize the templates provided or create new templates. Place the templates in the folder named ExcelReports above. When exporting test plans, these templates are available, see Functions > Export > Export test plan > Step 2d.
infra CONVERT writes the inspection characteristics line by line, this means among themselves. Name the first cell in the column to be filled with a value with one of the variables from the table below. How to define names in Excel is described in Microsoft Office Help here: Defining and Using Names in Formulas.
Various variables are available to describe the inspection characteristics with their properties.
