Represents configurations that can be applied to any surface exposed by a multi-surface view and supports various regions in which data can be displayed.
Syntax
Example
All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
The following example demonstrates how to provide an image and title surface configuration that will be applied to the center surface and a title surface configuration that will be applied to the left and right side cards.The following example demonstrates how to define default and explicit region configurations.

be appropriate to change it according to the data.-->
