Differences Between Page Items and Application Items

There are two types of items: page items and application items. Page items are placed on a page and have associated user interface properties, such as Display As, Label and Label Template. Examples of page-level items include a check box, date picker, display as text, file browse field, popup list of values, select list, or a text area. Application items are not associated with a page and therefore have no user interface properties. You can use an application item as a global variable.
