Modifying Inherited Parameters of Components

By default, all parameter values are inherited from the parent objects. However, they can be overloaded on any inheritance level. Overloaded values can be reverted to the original (inherited) value, accordingly.

Overloading Inherited Parameters

To overload an inherited parameter value:
  1. Select the management context from the context selection box, then select Content | Components.
    This opens the Components list view.
  2. Click the name of the component you intend to edit.
    This opens the Content tab of the detail view.
  3. In the Parameters section, start editing the intended parameter values.
    When editing a value, a pencil icon () next to the value field indicates that this value is not longer inherited but overloaded.
  4. Click Apply to save your settings.
    Otherwise, click Reset to discard your changes.

Reverting Overloaded Parameters

To reset an overloaded parameter to its original (inherited) value:
  1. Select the management context from the context selection box, then select Content | Components.
    This opens the Components list view.
  2. Click the name of the component you intend to edit.
    This opens the Content tab of the detail view.
  3. In the Parameters section, click Revert to Inherited Values.
    This displays checkboxes in front of the modified parameters.
  4. Select the parameters to be reverted.
    Use the checkboxes to select the intended parameters.
  5. Click Revert.
    The selected parameters are set back to their original (inherited) values.
