Apply UTF-8 for mail merge

The default encoding for HTML mailmerge reports is UTF-8. However, if you have Outlook clients that do not support unicode, you can change the mailmerge report encoding to the platform encoding here.

If you select Yes, HTML mailmerge reports will be created using UTF-8 encoding.

If you select No, HTML mailmerge reports will be created using platform encoding of browser on which the report is run.

HTML encoding?

You can encode Planon data for mail merge HTML reports as a security measure against cross site scripting. This way of encoding can change the result of the HTML mail merge report. For this purpose, the setting HTML encoding? is available.

For more information on how this works, see Encode Planon data in HTML mail merge .

Enable CSV escape characters?

It is possible to export data in CSV format. However, CSV files potentially pose a security vulnerability that you want to prevent. Click Yes to escape the cell value so that any malicious scripts cannot be executed.

Applications that are used to open the CSV files exported from Planon will then not interpret the cell as a formula to execute.

CSV escape characters

Enter the characters that you want to escape in CSV format, if you enter multiple characters, separate them by using a comma.
