A part is a link between two items and, by default, its name is displayed as the item name of its defining object (i.e., the item that it is pointing to).
There is an option in the meta model to allow for the use of an alternative (part) name instead of using the default item name of the defining object. If the option is activated by an Architect, users can choose to set a part name for an item in a structure. Setting a part name can be done both directly in the structure tree, and in the Parts view. This article describes how to do this.
