Item Properties
Content items inherit the fields and field properties that you define for the content type to which the item belongs. For example, one of the fields defined for the Memberships content type is ITEM_DESCRIPTION field. The attributes of this field are set up so that the label is Description, the field is editable, and the field doesn't require an entry. When you set up a content item for the Memberships content type, the application displays a field labeled Description, in which you can enter text to describe the agency, but the field isn't required.
Related Content Items
If the content type for which you are creating an item has related content types, then you can enter the related content items for the item. For example, if you have a content type relationship where the Goals content type supports the Competencies content type, then on the content items for competencies, you can enter the related goals.
Proficiency Descriptions
If the content item belongs to a content type that has a rating model defined for it, then you can either use the existing descriptions for the ratings within the model, or define descriptions for the ratings that are specific to the content item. When ratings exist for the content item, the descriptions defined for the item are used instead of those on the rating model.
