You can configure a new structural object class defined to inherit from another structural object class defined in the directory.

About this task

To specify that a new structural object class defined using the HCL Domino® Directory inherit from another structural object class defined in the directory, insert the $xxxInheritableSchema subform for the superior object class into the $xxxInheritableSchema subform of the subordinate object class. For example, you can create the structural object class renovationsLaserPrinter that inherits attributes from the structural object class renovationsPrinter.

You can also configure a new structural object class to inherit from a default object class in the schema that is defined by a form.
