The inheritance is useful to know the source of the skill:
- If a skill and its level are required for all the jobs of the folder, the inheritance has the Folder value.
- If a skill and its level are required for all the jobs of this sector, the inheritance has the Sector value.
- If a skill and its level are required for all the jobs of this position, the inheritance has the Branch value.
- If a skill is defined in the standard job, the inheritance has the Manual value.
- If a skill originates from of a skill group, the inheritance is Group of skills.
When you modify a skill line, the inheritance switches to Manual: the skill is no longer linked to the upper levels and it cannot inherit the updates performed at upper levels.
