Item Classes

Overview

Classes are used to group a number of Settings, User-defined fields and Checklists which can be used across multiple Item Categories.

You can optionally link a Data Type to a Class - see Data Types for more information.

The format settings for the Description and Note fields can be used to automatically update them from user-defined fields or linked data models using Tags or SQL. The formatting priority is SQL > Tags > None.
