The spreadsheet consists of the following components:

The spreadsheet declaration is required, and should be written at the beginning of the spreadsheet.
Certain parts of the declaration will have already been written in the exported spreadsheet. If the
declaration line is incorrect, an error occurs and the spreadsheet file will be rejected.
Note: The spreadsheet declaration line is not case-sensitive.

Function Tags
Before you write the settings, you need to state the function of the parameter. This is called a function
tag, which is formatted as a string that is in brackets ([ ]).
Function tags have the following characteristics:
• At least one function tag is required in a spreadsheet.
• The function tag must be written at the very beginning of the row.
• Any other comments and settings written in the same row as the function tag are ignored.
