Main area to indicate what Band Structure Item is to be displayed and for what Frequency (if applicable)

  Band Structure Item - Pick List From the drop down list, select the item that is to be displayed for this row/band.  Click here for a list of reportable items.
It is strongly recommended that a reportable/plottable item be selected that is relevant to display at a structure, otherwise the textual display may be blank or otherwise not as expected.
The list will initially display all available Reportable/Plottable Items.  At the top of the list of items are CATEGORIES, allowing the user to filter the list based on the category.  Users can pick a category in the list - when they re-select the list the reportable items will be filtered based on the selected Category. Note: The assignment of Reportable Items to different Categories is controlled by the Categorise Items command.

  Frequency

If applicable, select the Frequency for the Band Item. Note: This is relevant for reportable/plottable items of a drainage network, where the values are dependant on the storm frequency.

Heading Controls the Heading to be displayed on the Left Hand side of the long section for the row/band.
