Inherited Root

Specifies how to reconcile the root element from the parent structure with this element. When you inherit from a structure, you might want element properties to come from the (current) element in the child structure, or from the root element of the parent structure, or some combination of the two. The following options are possible:
  • Use Only Children - Only the properties from the child elements are included in the child structure under this element. The properties of the root element of the parent (inherited) structure are ignored.

  • Use Everything - The element properties of the current element are ignored, and all of its properties are inherited from the root element of the parent (inherited) structure.

  • Use All Except Name/Occurs - All properties of the root element of the parent (inherited) structure are inherited, except for the name, description, and occurs properties. These properties are defined by this element in the child structure. This corresponds to the type of inheritance defined in XML Schema by a particle.
