  • siteName * - name of the site

  • path * - specifies the Site parent names distributed between square brackets, as an array of strings, where each string should be placed between quotation marks. Listed Sites should be in the system/JSON.

    Because root area name should be unique in site scope, child area should be unique in parent area scope.

  • page - name of the page.

  • lockfordelete - boolean, set to false by default.

  • measureAggregations - aggregation for measureGroup/ measureType pair should be in the system / JSON file.
