Attributes and Elements

The following table lists the attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Type	Usage
Alt	String or reference to a localized label to display as alternative text.	String	Optional
CacheMenuVersions	Indicates whether the definition for the control should be cached for better performance. Select this value if you do not select PopulateDynamically.	Boolean	Optional
Command	Specifies the ID of the ribbon command for this control.	String	Optional
CommandMenuClose	Specifies the ID of the menu command to run when the menu closes.	String	Optional
CommandType	Allows for specifying a different type of command. Valid values: Value Description General Not a specific type of command. OptionSelection A command that is generated when a user selects one option in an option group. IgnoredByMenu A command that is used for controls that should not close the menu when clicked.	Enumeration	Optional
Id	Specifies a unique identifier for the definition of a ribbon element. The strongly recommended naming convention is to use a period to separate the parts of the name like so: [solution identifier].[entity].[ribbon].[function].[element name]. For example: MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. Use the {!EntityLogicalName} token in the Id attribute when you define a ribbon element that will be used for multiple entities. This inserts the entity logical name into the Id value to make sure that the Id value is globally unique. For example, if you use MyISV.{!EntityLogicalName}.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button with the account entity, the Id will be MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. For the contact entity, the Id will be MyISV.contact.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. Important If you don’t set a globally unique Id value, the ribbon might not display.	String	Required
