A typical mda-config.xml file looks as follows:

mda-config.xml

<mda-config>
    <templatePath>gui_templates</templatePath>
    <gui defaultLocale="en" rowCount="100"/>
    <permissions>mda-permissions.gen.xml</permissions>
    <labelFiles>
        <labelFile language="en" fileName="mda-label.gen.properties"/>
    </labelFiles>
    <validations>mda-validations.gen.xml</validations>
    <validationMessageFiles>
        <messageFile language="en" fileName="mda-validation_messages.properties"/>
    </validationMessageFiles>
    <lookupsFile>mda-lookups.gen.xml</lookupsFile>
    <filterDefinitionsFile>mda-search.gen.xml</filterDefinitionsFile>
    <displaySettings>mda-display.gen.xml</displaySettings>
    <samples>mda-samples.gen.xml</samples>
    <dataNavigation>mda-data-navigation.gen.xml</dataNavigation>
    <hierarchy>mda-hierarchies.gen.xml</hierarchy>
    <dashboardSettings>mda-dashboard.gen.xml</dashboardSettings>
    <audit>mda-audit.gen.xml</audit>
</mda-config>
