As you can see the configuration form it’s quite similar to the dataset data source configuration form.
The settings provided here is going to be applied to every data source you’re going to add once you clicked the Save button.
By using this configuration you can save a lot of time since you will not have to edit manually every new data source.
Show header and transpose are ignored for parameter data sources since you can select if you want to add them with the show header flag enabled/disabled or transposed directly in the add parameter selection window.

ReportWorX64 add-in General Configuration - Predefined parameters
By selecting the predefined parameters entry in the tree view, you can configure the predefined parameters that are going to be created every time you create a new template.
This configuration can be quite useful when you have to create lots of templates that share some similarities.
The interface is the same used in the Global parameters of the configuration window, the only difference is that you can’t create cell parameter.
It is not possible to create a cell parameter as a predefined parameter since the selected worksheet may not exist when the new template is created.
ReportWorX64 add-in General Configuration - Message
By selecting the Message entry, you can disable or enable some message that sometimes appears when you are using ReportWorX.
Those messages can be disabled directly when they appear since the dialog box allows that.
