Toolbar Icons	Description
Delete	Deletes the selected record(s). When clicked, users will be prompted with: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected records?". Click "OK" to confirm, or "Cancel" to return without deleting. Note: If a record is not selected prior to clicking the button, the message “Please select a row to delete.” will be displayed. _{WARNING: Records cannot be recovered once they are deleted!}
Edit	Opens the selected record for editing. If a record is not selected, the message "Please select a row to edit." will be displayed.
Excel	Clicking the Excel toolbar icon exports the current contents of the grid to an Excel file that is automatically downloaded. The contents that export are only those currently visible. If the grid is filtered, only the filtered contents will be exported.
Favorites	Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline. Users must log out and back in before the pages will be visible in the 'My Shortcuts' tab.
Grid Layout	Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific). The bolded view is the default view, which will determine the view will automatically display in when opened.
Help	Opens the online WIKI help page for the current page. This icon is only visible on pages that are documented in the online help.
New	Opens a new blank record for data entry.
Fields	Description
Checkbox	Used to select one or more records for delete or mass update.
Class ID	A hyperlink that shows the value of the 'Class ID' property on the Class record. Clicking on the link opens the record view for the selected Class. This defaults to blank for new records and is required. If not assigned, the message "Class ID is required." will be displayed on Save. This value must be unique. If not, the message "Duplicate Class ID's are not allowed." will be displayed on Save. This field must be <= 25 characters and is always editable from the record view. The Class ID is used as a short description and unique identifier of the Class. Linked Database Field: ERPx_IMItemClass.ClassID
Description	The 'Description' property on the Class record. This defaults to blank for new records and is required but duplicate values are allowed. If not assigned, the message "Description is required." will be displayed on Save. This field is always editable from the record view and must be <= 50 characters. The Description is used as a long description/name of the Class. Linked Database Field: ERPx_IMItemClass.Description
Inactive	A Yes/No field used to identify if the record is Inactive. If set to 'Yes' then the record is "Inactive" and will not be included in look-ups for transactions or other master files. If set to 'No' then the record is "Active" and can be freely used. Linked Database Field: ERPx_IMItemClass.IsInactive
