User Field Lookup Items is where you define the items for each lookup name entered in User Field Lookup Names.  For example, you may choose to define a lookup name called "Color".  In User Field Lookup Items, you define all the color items you want to enable the user to select (i.e. Red, Black, Blue, Green, etc.).
