For each Item Type an Administrator can specify the sequence in which it appears in any drop down and give it a Description as well as a Title.  You can also disable an Item Type so that it does not appear in the list of Item Types when creating Items, but any Items of this Type will remain in the list and not be deleted. 

  

There are nine optional fields that can be included in the Details tab on an Item and which of these appear is defined on the Item Type, in addition they can be defined as Mandatory and if there is an associated list of values a Default value can be selected. 

  

Item Types may be defined at the Portal level, which are used by default when creating a Project, or at The Project level if this is selected once the Project has been created. 

  

Select the Settings icon in the left hand pane:


  

To change the configuration of an Item Type navigate to the Settings option under the Item Manager heading if you wish to change an Item Type used Globally.
