Creating Items

An item is part of an HTML form. An item can be a text field, text area, password, select list, check box, and so on. Item attributes affect the display of items on a page. For example, these attributes can impact where a label displays, how large an item will be, and if the item will display next to or below the previous item.

There are two types of items: page items and application items. Page items are placed on a page and have associated user interface properties, such as Display As, Label and Label Template. Application items are not associated with a page and therefore have no user interface properties. You can use an application item as a global variable.
