I made some edits to 1. Items.
If you have any ideas, improvements, etc, please edit the page itself, or post suggestion here, thanks!
 

Items can have values. In the above example, the highlighed item has the following field values

  • Item [Field] = First iteration coding
  • DurationHr = 80
  • EstimatedCost = $4800.00
I added [Field] after Item above - I'm wondering should the difference between Item & Item field be made clearer ? It is also mentioned in #6:
# 6) Items don't have an itemtext property. Item text is just like any other text field
 
 
# 1) All items are full-fledged items. There is no such thing as a top-level item (TLI) or SLI (meaning : they don't have any inherent status or function. An item can be a TLI in one location and not in another - see #4 below.)
I added bold-highlighted part. I still find the explanation a bit confusing... (#4 says "Items can have multiple parents")
 
# 5) Items will (notice the will) have a list of linked items, i.e. not hierarchy related
Can anyone explain #5 to me? Does it mean (needs to be said better if correct) "Items will have a list of linked items, if the item has links to other items or files or URL's, etc. etc."
 
# 7) All text fields can have lots of characters, have wordwrap, hyperlink, etc. If you have a lot of text though, it is recommended to put it in the HTML pane (Shift+F12 to toggle)
I changed #7 from "All text fields can have zillions of characters, have wordwrap, hyperlink, etc" to above - it's not very technical to say 'lots' of text, so if you can describe it better please edit, or post suggestion here, thanks!
 
# 10) Other special fields are NbChildren, NbParents, TextFields which allows for searching in all text fields, the same for dates, numbers and binary fields.
Is the bold-highlighted part of sentence above correct ? If so could it be phrased better ? (is it meant to describe the difference between text and date, etc fields?)
