Configuration

Turns on debugging information and helps you pin down the problematic view. It also specifies the internationalization (I18N) service that is used to internationalize views.

The Configuration view provides details about the views in the coach where it is used. For example, it can specify whether the debug log is on, what views are loaded, and what expressions are associated with what views.

Tip: Use Configuration at the page level rather than nested inside a view. Also, when you use parameters, place the Configuration view at the top of the page, so that when the page is loaded, the parameters can be accessed by the other views in the page.

Configuration properties

Under Configuration, set or modify the configuration properties for the view.

Theme definitions: Theme definitions specify the colors and styles for a view and determine its appearance. You can preview the look and feel of views in the theme editor. See Themes.

The appearance configuration properties for Configuration are shown in the following table:
