Parameter	Description
Additional CSS Class for Control	This option allows you to add additional layout to the skin by developing a new DOTNETNUKE style, which requires an advanced understanding of HTML and CSS.
Error Message	If left blank and the "PersonifyErrorMessage" do not return a result, the default error message, "An error occurred while performing [Insert Action].
