# SectionedFetchRequest.Configuration

The request’s configurable properties.

## Declaration

```swift
struct Configuration
```

## Overview

Overview You initialize a SectionedFetchRequest with a section identifier, an optional predicate, and sort descriptors, either explicitly or with a configured NSFetchRequest. Later, you can dynamically update the identifier, predicate, and sort parameters using the request’s configuration structure. You access or bind to a request’s configuration components through properties on the associated SectionedFetchResults instance, just like you do for a FetchRequest using FetchRequest.Configuration. When configuring a sectioned fetch request, ensure that the combination of the section identifier and the primary sort descriptor doesn’t create discontiguous sections.
