Use Insert a New Report to insert a Finest Partition report record into the Reports Management window. To configure the report, follow the steps below:

  1. Right-click the Finest Partition report record and select Setup/Show Report. The system displays the Finest Partition Reports Configuration Dialog Box.
  2. In the Tables pane of the dialog box, find the first table with road section data that will be combined with other tables in the finest partition operation. Click the record for this table to select it. The system highlights the record to show that it is selected and also displays the columns of this table in the Columns pane.
  3. In the Columns pane, find the column with attribute data that you will include in the report. In the record for this column, select the Select check box. The system places a check mark in the Select check box in the Columns pane as well as the Selected check box of the table record in the Tables pane. The system also places the name of the column in the List of All Selected Columns pane.
  4. Repeat step 3 for any additional columns from the selected table that you would like to appear in the report.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the next table to be combined with the first table.
  6. Decide on your filtering approach and implement it using the following guidelines:
    1. Filter after generating and showing the Finest Partition report: This will temporarily filter the partitioned result. Implement this type of filtering by generating and then showing the report as described in the remaining steps below. The resulting Finest Partition report is shown in a new window. Then right-click the report to display the shortcut menu. Select Filter to filter the report.
    2. Filter before generating the report: This will permanently filter what you are partitioning. This is not the preferred method because you cannot revert the filtering after you generate the report. This type of filtering can be done with these two methods:
      1. Filter a single input table: Right-click the name of the input table in the Tables pane and select Apply Filter for this Table. The Filter dialog box is displayed where you can set the filter as required.
      2. Filter all input tables by location: Right-click in the Location Filter pane and select Apply Location Filter for All Tables. The Filter dialog box is displayed where you can set the filter as required.
  7. Once all columns from all tables are selected, double-check the list of columns in the right pane as well as the tables with a Selected check mark in the Tables pane. You can change the order of the columns in the List of All Selected Columns pane by using the arrow buttons to the side of the pane.
  8. Once all desired tables and columns are selected, the Finest Partition report is configured. Complete the process using one of the following:
    • Save the configuration without generating the report by selecting OK. The system responds by saving the configuration and closing the dialog box.
    • Select Generate Report to begin the finest partition operation in which the selected tables are combined. Once this operation is finished, select Show Report to see the Finest Partition report.
