# Partition Documents into Clusters

Partition clustering is a different method of clustering that allows you to create a specified number of clusters, and to place all documents into a cluster. This method is faster than using `ClusterSnapshot`.

This method adds all documents into a cluster, which means that the clusters generated are relatively broad and might represent several topics. You might want to use this method if you want to cluster the results of a query into a predefined number of clusters.

To partition documents into clusters

- Send the `ClusterPartition` action to the Category component. Set the following action parameters:

  `DREQuery` | The query that you want to cluster the results for.
  `NumResults` | The number of results from the specified query that you want to return and cluster.
  `NumClusters` `ClusterSGDataGen` | The number of clusters to create.

For more information about the `ClusterPartition` action, refer to the Category component Reference.
