Existing templates can be flexibly customized and new templates can be added at SSMSBoost->Settings->Grid Scripting Templates. You can reach this menu directly from Results Grid scripting window by pressing button to the left of the drop-down "Template" menu



Results Grid Scripter is shipped with the following predefined templates:

• Excel (MS XML Spreadsheet) - saves results in MS XML Spreadsheet format that can be opened in MS Excel.
  Values preserve their data types: If you export telephone numbers to Excel they will not be treated as formulas anymore!
• JSON - get Results Grid data directly in JSON format. No further converters required.
• HTML table - results are saved as HTML Table
• INSERT INTO - generates a table declaration that can be used to insert execution results of the stored procedure.
• INSERT INTO #tmpres EXEC sp_storedProc - quickly generates a temporary table declaration that can be used to insert execution results of the stored procedure.
• Property:Value - copies results as ColumnName:Value
• SELECT - scripts results as SELECT VALUES statement. It is some kind of table data exported as script. Data types are preserved.
• WHERE Column=Value - selected values are copied as 'WHERE (ColumnName=Value) OR ...' allowing you to quickly generate WHERE filters by selecting required column values
• WHERE ColumnName IN (value1,value2..) - generates WHERE ColumnName in (Value1,..) filter based on selected values
• XML - results are saved as pure XML document

Use existing templates as samples to experiment and create your own templates.
