About the Class Inheritance display |
Use the Class Inheritance display to present, in a pop-window, a UML-style class diagram identifying a portion of the class hierarchy.
You can use the diagram to review the names of the ancestor classes that the system searches during rule resolution and the order in which it searches them. You also can locate rules, if any, in ancestor classes that a specific rule overrides. C-2542 5.2 Interacting with the diagram, you can quickly open a rule or class form.
To identify ancestor classes to a specific class:
Use either of the following approaches to identify rules that a specific rule overrides in ancestor classes.
From the Application Explorer:
From the Designer Studio workspace:
See Help: Using the Class Inheritance display.
This tool executes in the context of your RuleSet list. Other users, with different RuleSet lists, may see different inheritance diagrams because they can access classes or rules that you cannot, or you can access classes and rules that they cannot.
Don't confuse this Class Inheritance diagram, which shows the ancestor classes of a single class and the order that they are searched during rule resolution, with the different but similar-looking Class Structure tool, which provides a way to explore relationships among all classes you can access.
