To allow a coupling between parent and child settings, the concept of inheritance has been introduced. Simply stated, child classes inherit all fields from their parents. If the Table Analysis engine is selected for the table field in the child class, a copy of the parent settings is created, which may be further modified. For this purpose, the table settings have been subdivided into three groups.
- Column settings. The definition of the number of columns and their names.
- Extraction settings. All parameters controlling the extraction algorithms.
- Validation settings. The definitions of formats for the individual columns.
Depending on the inheritance settings, the corresponding controls in the table settings tabs will be disabled.
Note: If a child class is created manually, without passing the SLW
process, it is necessary to activate the Brainware Table Extraction engine for the
Table field at the child class level.
