# Create Categories from Partitions

The `CategoryPartition` action divides up a specified set of documents into several partitions. The IDOL Category component assigns each document to a partition, and generates a title for each partition. This option is similar to clustering, but it places all documents in a query set into partitions. For example:

    action=CategoryPartition&DREQuery=child+benefit+cuts&NumResults=500&NumPartitions=6

In this example, Category retrieves all the documents that match the specified query terms up to a maximum of 500 results, splits them into six partitions, and returns the results as an ACI response.

To create categories from the partitions, add the `CreateCategories` action parameter to the `CategoryPartition` action.

For more information, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
