Several ways exist to create a new partition item:
-
Creating a new empty partition item: By clicking Add / Insert New Row on the shortcut menu, you can add a partition item to the currently selected partition. The newly created partition item can be created before or after the currently selected partition item. This partition item is not assigned any value.
-
Creating a new partition item selected from a list of possible partition items: For domain columns, you can choose the value you want to insert, directly from the Add submenu of the shortcut menu. Possible values are all values of the domain less values that are already present in the partition.
-
Creating a fully specified partition by inserting all possible partition items: For domain columns, you can choose to add all remaining values of the domain to the partition. This operation creates a fully specified partition.
-
Creating an 'Otherwise' partition item: A partition can be assigned one and only one Otherwise partition item. The Otherwise partition item represents all cases not covered by existing partition items of the partition. If none exists, you can add such an item in the currently selected partition, by clicking Add / 'Otherwise' on the shortcut menu.
