Configuration examples

This section provides examples of editing attributes in erni_config.xml, and the resulting changes to the BIRT Studio page.

Figure 15-7 shows the default BIRT Studio page with all actions enabled. The formatting actions on the toolbar and context menu are called out, so that you can see the difference in the toolbar and context menu when these actions are disabled.
