Editing Items
-------------


GUI Form
.........

Where user and model permissions allow it, an item can be edited and saved 
from a GUI form:

* Displayed field names are customizable and provide tooltips according to a Field
  Display Policy for the model.
* Form GUI Rules control the default field availability and pre-populated values.
* When a form is opened, form details are initially rendered using cached data.
  While loading the non-cached data, the **Save** button on the button bar is 
  unavailable, and replaced by a 'spinning wheel'. Once the non-cached data has
  been loaded, the 'spinning wheel disappears and is replaced by the **Save** button.
* A form may also provide an on-line help icon to guide a user in editing it.
