• - This icon signifies that the values for this attribute field are inherited from the parent.
• - This icon signifies that the values for this attribute field were overridden. You click this icon to inherit the values again from the parent.

• A sequence attribute cannot be overridden because it cannot be edited once set.
• Inherit and override values have higher precedence than preprocessing and post-processing values.

Performance best practice

The tabs of the Single-edit page perform best when you have the optimal number of attributes. It is always advisable to set a realistic set of attributes per Tab. Higher number of attributes result in the UI taking a longer time to load and thus degrade the user experience. Based on the lab tests, the system performance remains unaffected for up to 1200 attributes per tab.
