Settings are read from a local Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) that stands for Input.

This activity takes one Input that is the **Path of the excel file (.xls or .xlsx) as String.**

Output is the collection variable as Dictionary .

In Reframework model it is easy to initialize the configuration through **InitAllSettings** workflow, but in normal flowchart process it is a very time consuming task to read configure variable from an Excel file then save it in a Dictionary object.

This component solves this problem in an easy way.

**NOTE:** If you are familiar with Reframework, this component does the same thing like **InitAllSettings** workflow does.

This component outputs a settings Dictionary with key/value pairs
