Element Type Definition: ITEM

Oracle Designer Model, Release 6i
Element Type Definition

Element Type Name	ITEM_GROUP
Short Name	IGR
View Name	CI_ITEM_GROUPS
Description	An item group identifies the items (that is, data bound items or
	unbound items) that are to be grouped together by the generator,
	allowing the user to control the placement of logically related
	data.

	Item groups are also used by the Report Generator for "break
	groups" since these too are logical groupings of items.

	Item groups are hierarchical, ie an item group may contain one
	or more other item groups.
