7 Download Data
When a business user clicks Download Data from the Oracle Visual Builder tab, Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel fetches data from the REST service and displays that data in the integrated workbook's layouts. This action generally involves one or more GET requests on the business object's collection path.
How the add-in manages a download depends on the type of layout, whether there are dependent layouts, and the add-in's download settings. For example, you can configure the add-in to retrieve descendant rows in a single payload. See Configure Download to Use a Single Payload.
To gain a better understanding of how the add-in behaves during a download, refer to the appropriate section:
Note:
The Download Data icon is disabled if the Download Enabled check box is not selected in the Layout Designer. See Manage Layout Capabilities. It may also be disabled if the GET operation is not configured on the collection path for the business object. See REST Operations.
