SYMPTOMS
When a folder is cut-off, filing is not possible because the active part is closed, this is because a folder should always contain one active part in order to file records.
A part is a segment of a folder; it has no existence independent of the folder. The folder is segmented for management purposes only, and is managed from the folder level.
A folder will always contain at least one part - the first part - which, until and unless a second part is created, is co-extensive with the whole folder.
The concept of parts allows the contents of folders which would otherwise be closed to be disposed of in a regular and orderly manner.
