Additional Information

NOTE:

 

On-Premise customers can install the BETA version of the Excel add-on. 

 

This BETA version is supported with On-premise version 2.0 or higher.  Customers will need to edit line number 25 of the manifest.xml file and substitute the fully qualified domain name or IP address of their Rally server for 'rally1.rallydev.com’.  The download version of the manifest.xml is meant to be used for SaaS customers and thus points to the SaaS location of Rally.  

 

It reads as follows;

 <SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/js-lib/excel-addin/index.html" />

On-premise customers will edit the line to look something like the following example;

 <SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://<YOUR_HOST_NAME_OR_IP>/slm/js-lib/excel-addin/index.html" />
