Fields and Items
In the sections that cover the personal data storage functions of the BN Unit, you will come across the
terms
field

item

Generally, a
field
is an area on the screen where you actually input the text, numbers, dates, and times
you want to store. Some fields, however, provide you with a set of fixed options from which you can
choose one.
An
item
(which is actually short for
data item
) is a set of specific fields that forms the basic unit for the
storage of the data you input. In the CONTACTS Mode, for example, you input data into NAME,
ADDRESS, and PHONE (H) fields. The complete set of data for each person makes up an item.
