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 AcademicLevel and District . It assumes all lists have a code field and by default a description field but this can be overwritten by certain objects like Cadre . @abstract

Constants
