To get started:
Familiarize yourself with the contents of a sample .xml
configuration file by examining it in an XML-supporting browser, such as
Internet Explorer version 5 or later, that provides color-coding and the ability to
expand and collapse sections. You can create a sample file by copying and pasting
from this documentation, or you can view and modify the
css_config.xml
sample file installed in the Analytic Services
bin
directory.
In Internet Explorer, the element values (which are what you modify) appear bold.
For example, <element>value</element>
.
The actual elements, which you should not modify, appear lighter and are enclosed within angle brackets. Note: Elements are often referred to as tags.
