ORD - The <BaseSettings> block

The <BaseSettings> block contains information about the data source, the type of the data source and the connection method. <BaseSettings> also contains information about data grouping and queries as well as all other information that can be set for a Cacidi Project using the Cacidi Extreme Project Settings window.
If a project has already been set up on a Cacidi Extreme client solution, the <BaseSettings> block can be copied from the Cacidi Connect Prefs.xml file for the Cacidi Project.
