Specifying inheritance settings

With the program's inheritance capabilities, objects you add directly to a test will appear on every page in that test including pages that are inside of a test section within the test. Objects added directly to a test section will appear on every page in that section and objects added directly to a page will appear only on that page.

The Inherit Settings group is available within all test, test section and page properties. If the object is excluded within the properties of a test, it will not appear on any page within that test. If the object is excluded within the properties of a test section, it will not appear on any page within that test section, and if the object is excluded within the properties of a page, then the object will be excluded from that page.

By default, all objects are excluded from a test results page.

To specify a test section's inheritance properties:

  1. Double-click the graphic of the test section in the Title Explorer. Alternatively, you can right-click the test section in the Title Explorer and select Properties. The Properties ribbon is displayed.

  2. Click Inherit in the Inherit Settings group. The Inherit window opens.

  3. Use the drop-down list to select from one of the following inheritance options:

    ALL objects from parents

    Places all objects within the Inherited list. These objects will continue to appear throughout your chapter.

    NO objects from parents

    Places all objects within the Excluded list. These objects will not appear on any pages within your chapter.

    Specific objects from parents

    Allows you to select the objects to inherit or exclude. Select an object in either list and click the arrow buttons to move items from one list to the other in the direction of the buttons. Select several objects by holding down the Ctrl key while selecting objects.

  4. Click OK.

The inheritance settings are changed.
