Overriding an Inherited Entry-Level Attachment

You can override an automatically attached device user source at the entry level in two ways:

• Disable the attached device user source at the entry level using the - option. This blocks the inheritance from the field level.
• Explicitly attach the device user source at the entry level using the R (rescope) option.

Note: You cannot use the D option on this panel to detach a device user function that was inherited from the field-level.

The + and - options are available for all device properties. You can use them to release or temporarily hold any explicitly attached device function. In addition, for the entry level you can use them to allow or prevent the inheritance of device user source from the field level.

If you do not want the inherited device user function applied to this Horse name entry, type - against it and press Enter.

The device user function is no longer highlighted and the * is reset to - indicating that the function is disabled. When you generate the Edit Horse function, the device user source is not applied to the Horse name entry.

1. To re-enable the field-level device user source, type + against the function and press Enter. The * is redisplayed to indicate that the device user source is again inherited from the field level.
2. To make the entry-level user source independent of the field-level user source type R (Rescope) against it and press Enter. This explicitly attaches the same device user function to the entry, overriding the inheritance of the device user source attached at the field level.

   You can now detach the device user source at the field level without affecting the entry-level attachment.

   

   To reinstate the automatic field-level attachment, detach the entry-level attachment by typing D against it and pressing Enter.
