Create partitions

Partitions are used to logically organize the different elements of a product structure into a hierarchy that helps users to easily find their required data. Partitions are created within partition schemes.

Procedure

1. Open the product structure (item revision, part revision, or design revision) for which you want to create partitions.

   By default, the structure opens in the partition scheme that is set as the primary scheme by the administrator. However, if you have overridden the preference set by the administrator, the structure opens in the partition scheme that you have set.

2. Select the partition scheme within which you want to create partitions.

3. Click Partitions > Add.

4. In the Add Partition panel, in the Type section, select the type of partition that you want to add.

5. Enter the required information and click Add.

Perform the above steps to create:

• A (child) partition within another partition by selecting the (parent) partition.
• Another (top-level) partition within the partition scheme by selecting the partition scheme.
• A partition within another partition scheme by selecting the scheme from Partition Scheme.

To go back to the product structure, select None from Partition Scheme.
