Configuration information that is attached to this component. This information is not functionally used by CaptainCasa, but may be used for any application specific purpose.
Reference to image within your web application. The image either needs to be defined relative to the current page (e.g. ../images/abc.png) or needs to be defined in an absolute way (e.g. /images/abc.png). The root directory for absolute addressing is the directory of the web application.
