1. Results: Dispay the total count of records that are available.
2. Show: The count or rows that display within the table. The user has a drop down that lets then choose between 25, 50, 100 and 200 rows to display in the table. 100 is selected by default.
3. First and Last: Navigate to the First or Last page. If the user is on the first page then First is not clickable. If the user is on the last page, then Last is not clickable.
4. Previous and Next: Navigate backward and forwards from the currently selected page. If the user is on the first page then Prvious is not clickable. If the user is on the last page, then Next is not clickable.
