    • In the Allocation column, you can set the Split-target and Read-only options.
      Note:
      • The Split-target option is editable for new table partition policy details. You can set this option for all policy details other than the final policy detail in the list.
      • The Read-only option is editable only if the Allocated and Split-target options are selected. However, you cannot edit the Read-only option for a composite partition policy detail since a composite partition is set at the policy level.

      • Select a partition to view its properties in the Partition Properties area.
      • Set the Area by clicking the search icon. The Area Selection dialog enables you to search for and select the available partition areas.
        Note: This field is disabled if the partition policy has been allocated area during partition policy creation.
