Values
identifier, member, option, multiple, data
• identifier is a participant that identifies the entire group. If this participant is found in the
document, the group is considered to exist whether or not other group participants are found.
This is the default value if
partType is not specified.
• member is a normal member of a group. If it is found by itself, it does not identify a group. If it
is not found in a group, the group is considered incomplete.
• option indicates that the participant is optional. If it is not found, the group is still considered
complete and no incomplete flag is set in the Server Behaviors panel.
• multiple indicates that the participant is optional and multiple copies of it can be associated
with the server behavior. Any parameters that are unique to this participant are not used when
grouping participants because they might have different values.
• data is a nonstandard participant that is used by programmers as a repository for additional
group data. It is ignored by everything else.
