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 subgroups and machines within that group.

You can change option settings for a group, subgroup, or machine 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, subgroup, or machine and then click one of the following:
  • Revert to Global Settings (for a group, subgroup, or machine that is not a group member)
  • Revert to Group Settings (for a machine that is a group member)
  • Revert All Members to Group Settings (for all the members of that group at once)
