Represents the metadata used to manage settings for Ideas.
In the package manifest, all organization settings
metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See Settings for more details.
File Suffix and Directory Location
IdeasSettings is stored in one file named
Ideas.settings in the settings folder of
the corresponding package directory. The .settings files are
different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each
settings component.
Version
IdeasSettings is available in API version 27.0 and
later.
Ideas
Represents settings for Ideas and Idea Themes.

page faster than a longer half-life. |

The following is an example ideas.settings metadata file:
Wildcard Support in the Manifest File
The wildcard character * (asterisk) in the
package.xml manifest file doesn’t apply to metadata types for feature
settings. The wildcard applies only when retrieving all settings, not for an individual
setting. For details, see Settings. For information about using the manifest file, see
Deploying and Retrieving Metadata with the Zip File.
