Determines how to create partitions from the Attribute conditions.

Only available when Partition By is set to Distinct Attribute Values,or Attribute Pattern. When partitioning by values this parameter whether partitions are indexed in ascending or descending order based on their attribute values. When partitioning by pattern it determines if the matching attribute names should from sorted from A to Z or from Z to A.

Determines if the Attribute conditions should be considered individually or as a collective, single condition.

When this toggle is enabled an extra partition will be created that contains all work items that failed to match the other Attribute conditions.

When Partition By is set to Attribute Pattern this parameter is used to determine which attributes should be used during the partitioning step. For example, using a pattern of * ^foo would create a partition for each attribute, except for an attribute named foo.

The number of attribute conditions.

The name of the attribute.

The type of the attribute, either Float, Integer, or String.

This parameter determines the attribute index that the condition should check.

When partitioning by Specific Attribute Value this parameter determines the attribute value that condition should check.

Determines how output files from work items in partitions are merged onto the partitions themselves. By default, all output files from the work item are copied into the partition output file list.

Defines the number of attribute merge operations to perform on the partitioner node. The operations are used to merge attributes from work items in the partition onto the partition itself. Operations are performed in descending order. Attributes are merged using the first operation with a pattern that matches the attribute.

Specifies the operation to perform to merge incoming attributes onto the partition. Each operation only applies only to the subset of attributes matched using the corresponding To Attributes parameter.

The following operations are available:

Specifies which attributes the corresponding Apply Operation parameter should apply to. This field can use the Attribute Pattern Syntax to specify multiple attributes.

When on, the merge operation preserves the original array size of the incoming attributes. The merged array size is determined by the first value found across the input work items. When off, the partitioner flattens the incoming array attributes into a single sequence of values (a single scalar value) and performs the merge operation across all values.

Determines when the partitioning step is performed on the input work items.

Determines which node or nodes(s) should target. Work items in the target nodes are partitioned as soon as they're generated even if the target nodes are not a direct input to this node. The descendants of the target work items are added to the partitions when they become available.

Specifies the target TOP node for the partition when Partition Targets is set to Custom Target Node. The partition scheme is applied to the work items in the target TOP node instead of this node’s input work items. The target TOP node must be in the same graph and above this node.

When this toggle is enabled, the partitioner node will skip input work items that are failed and create partitions from the subset of upstream work items that succeeded. This option is only meaningful if Partition When is set to Input Items are Cooked, or when the partitioner node is wired into a dynamic node that has upstream failures.

When on, the node splits input work items by the specified attribute(s) before partitioning them. The partitioning logic is evaluated on the list of work items for each distinct attribute value. Work items with different attribute values are always put into different partitions. Multiple attribute names can be specified as a space-separated list.

Determines how the node handles work items that are missing the split attribute.

This parameter is only available when Split by Attribute is on.

Specifies the value to use for the split attribute for work items that are missing the attribute.

This parameter is only available when Missing Attribute is set to Use Default Value.

When Split by Attribute is set to a list of attribute names, this parameter determines how work items with only some of the attributes should be processed. If partial matches are enabled then work items will be added to split groups based on the attributes that do exist. Otherwise, work items with only a subset of the attributes will be excluded from the partitioning step.

Determines how the partitioner should set the frame value on partitions created by this node. If the partitioner already sets a custom frame value, for example like with a Python Partitioner SOP or Partition by Frame SOP, then this parameter has no effect.

Determines the order that work items are sorted in when accessing the partitions on this node. This also affects the sort order of output files on the partition.

Determines whether the work items in this node’s partitions are sorted in ascending or descending order.

Specifies the name of the attribute to sort by.

This parameter is only available when Sort Contents By is set to Attribute.

When on, the list of IDs corresponding to the work items in the partition are written to the specified attribute. The work item IDs are stored as an integer array. This makes it easier to recover the list of partitioned work items downstream of the partitioner node.
