| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Name for new class | Specify the name of the class to be created.   If you want to define a class within the existing one, select the Create nested class option.    |
| Package name | Specify the name of the destination package for the new class.   |
| Target destination directory | Specify the directory for the class you are defining. |
| Members to extract | Select the fields and methods to be extracted to the new class.   IntelliJ IDEA can also generate getters if you select the Generate accessors option.    |
| Visibility | Select the visibility level for the members you are extracting.   You can select from the following options:       * Escalate: this option is selected by default and means that the visibility of extracted members will change to ensure that the current calls to the delegated elements can be compiled.    * As is: select this option if you want to use the existing visibility for the members you are extracting.    * Private: select this option to make the extracted members private.    * Package local: select this option to make the extracted members belong to only the local package.    * Protected: select this option to make the extracted member protected.    * Public: select this option to make all of the extracted members public.    |
