Many of the item views configured via Configure the explorer allow for multiple configurations, i.e., multiple instances of the view. A list of them is provided below. The ViewSettings tag enables you to set custom labels, hover-tips, image icons, etc. for the menu options presented on the Items ribbon and in the View drop-down for these views. To use this tag, you would include it in each configuration, as needed.
