Changing the inheritance settings for an assignable unit

With the inheritance capabilities, objects you add directly to the main title will appear on every page of your title. Furthermore, any objects added directly to a assignable unit will appear on every page in that assignable unit including pages that are inside of a section within the assignable unit.

The inherit settings are available within properties of the assignable units. If the object is excluded within the properties of an assignable unit, it will not appear on any page within that assignable unit.

To exclude an inherited object:

1. In the Title Explorer, double-click the assignable unit graphic of the assignable unit. Alternatively, you can select the graphic, right-click, and select Properties. The Properties ribbon is displayed.

2. Click Inherit from 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 the assignable unit.
   NO objects from parents	Places all objects within the Excluded list. These objects will not appear on any pages within the assignable unit.
   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.
