Questions about Partition ID

Hi~ I have some questions about partition id. Although I read some tutorials, I still don't really understand how it works and when to use it. Take this tutorial's file provided below as example, I don't really understand the meaning of using the partition id.1689997201438.png

Hope to get some help, thank you!

A list has got fields. You can setup labels, expressions, predefined template fields. You can use more lists with same fields or you can use partitions. A partition is acting as a new list with a different key.

It's akin to having the clause WHERE PartitionID = something... but the difference is that they are treated independently - you can't pull a mixture of values from different partitions from the same list in the same pull query - so it's a 'hard' seperation in that sense. If you don't specify a partition (leave it as null) it will use the default partition which is still seperate to partitions that have a non-null value for their identifier.

Here you can see a list with 3 defined partitions and the default null partition:

When you pull from this list you're only ever pulling from 4 entries - and which 4 depends on which partition id is used.
