Parameters

Property	Label	Type	Description	Required
key	Key	text	Unique key, which is used to map to this entities list in the screen layout config.	required
displayName	Display name	text	The title of the card.	optional
description	Description	text	The description of the card Markdown syntax can be used to enrich description. To define a link, you can only use seaOtter links (https://dt-url.net/XXXXXXX) or action expression The format of a single action expression is: actionName\|key=param\|key2=param2	optional
entitySelectorTemplate	Entity selector template	text	An entity selector to narrow down dimensions.

When providing custom selector, following placeholders needs to be included: $(entityFilter) - it is replaced with `filter` operator that adds context of currently visible rows. It is recommended to use directly after each metric key. e.g. for disk list it will be evaluated to `:filter(in("dt.entity.disk",entitySelector(type(DISK) AND fromRelationship.isDiskOf(type(HOST),entityId(HOST-1)))))`, $(userFilter) - it is replaced with `filter` operator that corresponds to filters from filter bar above the table. It is recommended to use before last splitBy operator. $(aggregation) - it is replaced with aggregation operator based on selection above the chart.
