Table 1-2 Block Fields

Field	Description
Level	Level can be either Row or Column. If it is column, then the link is limited to that column alone and different links can be provided different fields in the same row. Multiple column level links can be defined for a summary dashboard. If it is row, the link is the same across all the fields in the row. Only one row level link can be defined for a summary dashboard. If a row level link is present, then no other link should be defined in the summary dashboard.
Link Type	Link Type can be standard or custom.
Function Name	Provide the function id which has to be launched on clicking the linked field. Linked field value will be taken as the primary key for launching this function id.
