Chapter 7, “Routing and Communications.”
Item Info Button 3
The picture button at the left end of a separator bar, which is called an Item
Info button, depicts the type of item below the separator bar. For example,
the Notepad application includes three types of items: plain note, checklist,
and outline. Tapping an Item Info button brings up an Item Info slip, in
which a user can change the title of the item below the separator bar. The
Item Info slip also reports statistics about the item, such as its type, when it
was created, where it is stored, and how much storage space it occupies.
Figure 3-32 shows a sample Item Info button and slip.
