The element has its own value
and this value has no counterpart in the
parent-element.
The element has its own value,
but this value corresponds to the value in the
parent-element.
The value of the element is
derived from a higher hierarchy level. The element does not have
its own value.
Example:
Functions
You can find the functions in the context
menu in addition.
Remove all children with the same value (also grandchildren)
Values are removed from the
children-elements if they correspond to the value of selected
parent-elements.
The value of the selected element remains
unchanged. (The action should be seen as a
clean-up.)
==> The background color of the lines shows this,
because the background color of the children-elements changes from
blue to gray, while the red background color remains the
same.
Remove all overwrites
Removes own values from all
children-elements. This assures you that the values of the
selected element will be inherited by the children.
The value of the selected
element remains unchanged.
==> The background color
of the lines shows this, because the blue or pink background color
changes to gray at children-elements.
Apply to the whole catalog
The value of the
selected element is shifted to the highest catalog element
and the selected element loses the
value.
(It now
of course inherits the value of the parent-element. All
children-elements inherit the highest catalog element's value, as
long as they don't have their own value.)
If you set the focus in the
project selection on hierarchically superior directories, such as
din_en_iso, the calculation time rises a considerable amount. The
calculation's activity will be signalized through the striped
pattern in the inheritance hierarchy field.
Children, in relation to the
highest catalog elements, are now gray, or pink, should they have
their own value.
Apply to the parent directory
The value of the
selected element is shifted to its parent-element and the
selected element loses the value. It now, however, inherits the
value of the parent-element.
==> The background color
of the selected line clarifies this by turning gray, while the
parent-element becomes pink.
Set value to the derived children
The value of
the selected elements is shifted to all direct
children (not grandchildren) and the
selected element loses the value.
==> The background color
of the lines shows this, because all children-elements turn pink
and the selected element assumes the value of its parent-element,
so far as a value exists.
