Layout Definition Utility - Editing Item Information

Using the Item Definition Template
The Item Definition Template is a dialog box giving you access to all the basic information for each item.  It does not give access to item extension information, so do not use the template for editing items with extension information.  Even if you do not want to edit the extension information, using the template will cause the extension information to be lost.
The template is a good way of editing items that do not have extension information.  It has the advantage over direct editing in that it provides you with a full description of each item and drop down lists of attribute codes.  The template also checks your edits for consistency when you click the OK button, and informs you of any errors so you can immediately correct them.

Invoke the item definition template as the template initializes the extension information fields.
