<block> Element

The <block> element corresponds to a dashboard structural unit that is a block.

A dashboard is a set of bocks. Both visual and non-visual dashboard components can be blocks.

The low-level components can be combined into blocks to make it more convenient to control them as a single entity. This is possible due to the similarity in their functions, and so on.

Syntax

<block> may contain a collection of nested <prop> elements that determine block properties.

<block name="" type="" key="">
  <prop>...</prop>
  ...
  <prop>...</prop>
</block>
