The following describes the attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attribute	Description	Type	Usage
Command	Specifies the ID of the ribbon command for this control.	String	Optional
CssClass	The name of the CSS class to apply when the tab is rendered.	String	Optional
Description	The Description attribute is not used by Microsoft Dynamics 365.	String	Optional
Id	Specifies a unique identifier for the definition of a ribbon element. The strongly recommended naming convention is to use a period to separate the parts of the name like so: [solution identifier].[entity].[ribbon].[function].[element name]. For example: MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. Use the {!EntityLogicalName} token in the Id attribute when you define a ribbon element that will be used for multiple entities. This inserts the entity logical name into the Id value to make sure that the Id value is globally unique. For example, if you use MyISV.{!EntityLogicalName}.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button with the account entity, the Id will be MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. For the contact entity, the Id will be MyISV.contact.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. Important If you don’t set a globally unique Id value, the ribbon might not display.	String	Required
Sequence	Specify the location of the ribbon modification by setting the Sequence value higher or lower than existing ribbon elements.	Integer	Optional
Title	This element is not used in Microsoft Dynamics 365.	String	Optional
