The requires Attribute

The search (and report) XML definition file may contain an optional attribute requires, which is described in the Reference Information chapter. For new reports, we recommend the value requires="12.5". Use of this value enables the new iConsole features.

Using requires="12.5" causes a change in the way the iConsole renders the customization page. The controls on each tab are created dynamically when the tab is clicked. Thus the Javascript that references controls must handle the situation whereby the controls on as yet unrendered tabs will not have been created.
