Via @caseydedore:

    this.comments = '';
    this.isCore = false;

    this.getIsLocal = function () {
      return this.itemCode.indexOf('.LC') >= 0;
    };
    this.getIsApplication = function () {
      return this.type === 4;
    };
    this.isAdvanced = function () {
      return this.type !== 4 &&
        !this.getIsLocal() &&
        !this.isCore;
    };
    this.isPrint = function () {
