2. When splitting an item, you will be presented with the following questions:

How many items are you splitting this item into?

Enter the total number of items that are being created by this split.

Are these items linked to the original item?

Select the option that applies. If the split item will always move with the original item, then select yes. If there is a possibility that this split item will move independently of the original, then select no.

Example: Some of our customers track computer media. That computer media will often be put on a large hard drive that contains multiple items. Whenever that hard drive moves, all items will also move. This is an example where sub-items are always located with the original item.
