You know what an openHAB **Item** is, right? Your friendly [tutorial](tutorial.html) reminder. Find all your configured *Items* listed here. ## Name An *Item* has a name to identify it easily. Click on the name and change it. Press enter or leave the name field to confirm. ## Icons An *Item* can have an icon assigned that is used for presentation in some user interfaces. For all available icons have a look at [the classic icon theme](https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/iconsets/classic/). ## Groups *Items* can be assigned to groups. A group is just another *Item* that is of type "Group". A group tries to merge the states of its children and present this accumulated state. You need to tell openHAB though how to perform the state merge and how to present the state. Consult further help on this topic in the "Type" tab after you have set the item type to "Group". ## Filter Filter items by tags, types or groups. Examples: * `groupNames`:`AwesomeGroup` * `tags`:`Lighting` * `type`:`Switch` ## Textual mode Batch edit your data while using copy & paste, regex find & replace syntax highlighting, and auto-suggestions.

The format is YAML.

Synopsis: * Whitespace indentation denotes the structure. * Comments begin with the number sign (#). * List members are denoted by a leading hyphen (-) with one member per line. * Express associative data in the form "key: value".

Please note: The textual mode is powerful. Hit save with an emptied text field and everything is gone. Act responsible!
