Inheritance of Global and Group Option Settings

Option settings for Global Settings or groups are inherited by items underneath them.

For example:
  • Settings defined for Global Settings are inherited by all groups and machines.
  • Settings defined for a group are inherited by all machines within that group.

You can change option settings for a machine or group to override default or inherited settings. When you change an option setting from the default or its inherited value, that option is highlighted.

To revert option settings to the original inherited values, right-click the group or machine and then click Revert to Global Settings (for a group or machine that is not a group member) or Revert to Group Settings (for a machine that is a group member).
