Partitioning

By partitioning, you can define your data to distinguish the difference between data objects based on values in the data or differences in the syntax.

Partitioning is a method of subdividing objects into mutually exclusive subtypes.

A special icon in the type tree identifies a partitioned type. The partitioned type maintains the same class.

To partition a type:

1. Select the type you want to partition. (You can only partition items and groups.)
2. From the Type menu, choose Properties.
3. For the Partitioned property, choose Yes.
