CategoryPartition

Allows you to divide up a specified set of documents into several partitions, with every document being assigned to a partition. This option is similar to clustering, but it addresses all documents in a query set. When the partitions have been created, IDOL Server generates a title for each partition.

You can create categories from your partitions, in a similar way to the CategoryImportFromCluster action.
