As each item is added, it is shown in the display of items in the lower portion of the window. Each line in the display of items represents a single item. To modify an existing item, simply highlight the desired item and the associated fields with that item will be displayed in the upper portion of the window. Items are automatically positioned within the lower portion of the window according to their Line Number and Tab Position.

The New Item button can be used to define a new item. You can also click on the (New Item) row in the item display to add a new item.

The Delete button can be used to delete the highlighted item. An item that has been defined as a sort item or selection criteria cannot be deleted.
