    Each setting tag should consist of:

    • <id> - is used to define a unique id for the setting that will be used to construct dashboard component's xml.
    • <label> - is used to define a valid key defined in translation properties file. Its translation through the glossary will be used as the setting label.

    • <classname> - is used to define the class name of the data object that is mapping with the specified xpath.
    • <field> - is used to define the class field that will be used to load the data object.

      Note

      Applicable only for CRMDO objects.


    • <axis> - is used to define the axis that will be used to get the parameter value.

      Note
