# 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 [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 [Item Tab](<bom_window:item tab>).  |
| string                        | \_Name          | The name of the Item, that gets displayed in the [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 [Item Tab](<bom_window:item tab>) as well as on the according rows in the [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 [additionally displayed](<bom_window/customization:add or remove columns>) in the [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>) .
