# Item

The Item object is of type *PsObject* and gets generated based on the Item information from the result of the [Get-BomRows](/code_reference/commandlets/show-bomwindow/required-functions/get-bomrows) function.

Therefore \$items are usually extended [powerVault Files](powervault:code_reference/objects/file) or [powerVault Items](powervault:code_reference/objects/item).

## Syntax

```powershell
$item._Name
```

Following properties are always available :

| Type                          | Name            | Description                                                                                                                                                                              |

| [Status](/bom_window/status)  | \_Status        | The current status of the Item that is displayed in the 'Status' column in the {ref}`Item Tab <bom_window:item tab>`.                                                                    |
| string                        | \_StatusDetails | The Item's [Status Details](/bom_window/status) which are displayed in the *Status Details* column and when hovering over the status icon in the {ref}`Item Tab <bom_window:item tab>`.  |
| string                        | \_Name          | The name of the Item, that gets displayed in the {ref}`Item Tab <bom_window:item tab>` column 'Name'.                                                                                    |             
## Remarks

A list of \$items gets passed into the functions:

- [Check-Items](/code_reference/commandlets/show-bomwindow/required-functions/check-items) 
- [Transfer-Items](/code_reference/commandlets/show-bomwindow/required-functions/transfer-items) 

### Entity Properties

Entity properties provide all the properties of an entity and are displayed in the {ref}`Item Tab <bom_window:item tab>` as well as on the according rows in the {ref}`BOM Tab <bom_window:bom tab>`.

At least following **standard property** should always be available: `_Name`.

All the other properties are **custom properties** that can be {ref}`additionally displayed <bom_window/customization:add or remove columns>` in the {ref}`Item Tab <bom_window:item tab>`.\
For example `Description`, `_Category` or all the other dynamically generated members of a  [powerVault File](powervault:code_reference/objects/file) or [Item](powervault:code_reference/objects/item) .
