Configuration object properties:

• name - (string) an arbitrary string name of the datastore. The datastore can be accessed by its name using getDatastore.
• initItem - (function) optional, preprocesses items loaded into datastore. It is a good place to set the default values of the datastore items.
• type - (string) optional, accepts only one fixed value "treeDatastore". If the type:"treeDatastore" is specified, the datastore will support hierarchical data, with the id property as a primary key, and parent as a link to the parent id. Any other value will produce a flat list datastore.
• fetchTasks - (boolean) enables showing all tasks assigned to a certain resource in the resource view panel. This functionality works both for the resource diagram and resource histogram types of layout.
