Settings Hierarchy and Inheritance

How Inheritance Works

Levels (from highest to lowest):

1. Workspace (Root): Default for entire workspace
2. Structure Element: Folder/group settings
3. Device: Individual Miniserver settings

Inheritance Rules:

• Settings cascade from parent to child
• Child can override parent settings
• "Inherit from parent" toggle controls inheritance
• Visual indicators show setting source

Example Hierarchy:

Workspace (Root)
  └── Daily backup at 03:00
      ├── Production Folder
      │     └── Inherits daily backup
      │         ├── Device A: Inherits daily backup
      │         └── Device B: Overrides to weekly backup
      └── Test Folder
            └── Overrides to monthly backup
                └── Device C: Inherits monthly backup
