Option Inheritance
Option levels are governed by an inheritance mechanism. An option inherits a value defined at a higher level:
• A user inherits the option values defined at the connection profile level.
• A profile inherits the option values defined at the environment level.
• An environment inherits options defined at the site level.
Customizations made at the user level are of highest priority, followed in order of priority by those made at the profile and the environment levels.
The icon located opposite the option indicates the inheritance, or not, from the higher level:
• 
/ 
indicates the inheritance from the higher level.
/ indicates the inheritance from the higher level.• 
/ 
indicates that the inherited option value has been modified. The value is no longer inherited from the higher level.
/ indicates that the inherited option value has been modified. The value is no longer inherited from the higher level.• options without icons indicate that the option value cannot be modified at this level.
In this example of a Solution Desktop, the first option value is modified, the following two ones are inherited and the last one cannot be modified at this level.
