Text description of the illustration icon_ax.gif	Axis Item - corresponds to a column on a table or a level on a crosstab axis. Axis items remain constant and have relatively few unique values (e.g. the names of departments in your organization, the names of your Sales Regions). The values of an axis item are shown as a list of values (LOV).
Text description of the illustration icon_axi.gif	Item Value - an item in a list of values (LOV).
Text description of the illustration icon_num.gif	Numeric Item - represents numeric data. The values of numeric items can change as you analyze the data (e.g. summing profits will produce different results for cities than for regions). Numeric items behave as axis items on table worksheets and correspond to the data in the body of a crosstab.
Text description of the illustration icon_agg.gif	Aggregations - the mathematical functions to aggregate data. For text items (e.g. Region), the typical aggregations are Count, Max, and Min. For example, you can count the number of Regions items, or find the highest or lowest (where A might be the highest and Z the lowest). For numeric items, typical aggregations are Sum, Count, Max, Min, Average, and Detail. For example, you can find the Sum or Average of the numeric data. The default aggregation (specified by the Discoverer manager) is displayed in bold.
Text description of the illustration icon_con.gif	Condition - a filter for finding specific data. Note: Conditions defined by the Discoverer manager appear in folders. User-defined conditions do not appear in folders.
