#REDIRECT [[Class: I2CE_List (4.1.7)]]
It is contained in the module [[iHRIS Module List#Lists|Lists]] in the package [https://launchpad.net/i2ce I2CE]
 
The class is defined in the file: [http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~intrahealth+informatics/i2ce/4.0.0-release/annotate/head:/modules/Forms/modules/Lists/lib/I2CE_List.php modules/Forms/modules/Lists/lib/I2CE_List.php]
 
Base object for dealing with lists of data.
This is an abstract object with base code for many of the I2CE_Form interface methods.  It is used
for many of the list database objects such as {@link AcademicLevel} and {@link District}.
It assumes all lists have a code field and by default a description field but this can be overwritten
by certain objects like {@link Cadre}.
