#### **Data Fetch Method**

* **Paginated Loading from Tableau Datasheet:** Loads data from the Tableau datasheet in smaller segments to prevent timeouts and improve performance. This is the standard Finance Tables method.

**Store Table Layout In**

* **Workbook settings:** Store the layout in the workbook settings.
* **Parameter:** Store the layout in a Tableau parameter. This allows dashboard users to create their own custom views.\

#### **Performance Booster**

* **Enable performance booster:** Improve performance by using native values only. This ignores the value formatting done in Tableau and can result in a significant performance boost.

> Important: when Measure Names / Measure Values are detected, the performance booster may be partially disabled during data fetch to keep values correct.

#### **Accessibility**

* **Enhanced accessibility mode:** Enables improved support for screen readers by rendering all rows and columns in the HTML, including rows and columns that are not visible on screen.

#### **Export Finance Tables Configuration**

* **Configuration Name:** Name of the configuration to export.
* **Export Button:** Button to export the configuration based on the selected options.

#### **Import Finance Tables Configuration**

* **Select File:** Select a file for importing a configuration.
* **Import Button:** Import the selected configuration file.
