Relation between Parent and Child Channels

Learn more about the way parent and child channel inheritance works. For more information on fine tuning hereditary aspects, see here.

Relations between parent and child channels are governed by a few simple rules:

  • Parent Channel > Child Channel: Setting changes performed on the parent channel are handed down to its children.
  • Inheritance is one-way only: Any settings changed in a child channel do not carry over to the parent channel.
  • Inherited settings can still be customised: All settings inherited by a child channel can be customised individually for each child channel.  This allows you to take country specific customer behaviour or linguistic idiosyncrasies into account, while still carrying over your customised default settings.
  • Child channel customisations can be reverted to parent channel defaults: Any settings changed in a child channel gan be reverted to the parent channel's current settings.
