Partition dialog box

Partitions

A partition organizes responsibilities for activities. Partitions do not have a fixed meaning, but often correspond to organizational units in a business model.

The "Partition" dialog box contains four tabs - "Properties", "Notes", "Tagged values" and "Stereotypes". For information on these standard dialog box tabs, please see "Standard dialog box tabs".
