Property Value

Type Default Description
String null

A String that specifies the component name of the dashboard item.

Remarks

The component name of the dashboard item is used in code to identify the dashboard item object. Use this name when calling the DashboardViewer.SetMasterFilter or DashboardViewer.PerformDrillDown methods.

The Name is displayed in the dashboard item caption. It does not have to be unique.

The ComponentName identifies a dashboard item in a dashboard container. It has to be unique in the dashboard. You can use only letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), and the underscore symbol (_) to set a component name. The component name should start with a letter.
