Your business uses analysis items to store details of tax-exempt accounts. You have one analysis item record type named Organization Type, which includes analysis items for various religious and educational organizations. Your business has decided to split religious and educational organizations into two separate categories.
You rename the existing Organization Type record type to Religious and create a new record type named Educational. You change the record type of the relevant analysis items, such as College, Elementary School, and Middle School, to the new Educational record type.
All other analysis items remain in the original record type, which has been renamed to reflect its new category.
