Upgrade Inheritance Scenario

For example, you may want to make a copy of the Account List applet and call it the Premium Account List applet. This new applet may differ from the original one in that it has a special search specification that is displayed only in those accounts that are considered premium accounts. In a subsequent release, Siebel Systems may add new out-of-the-box list columns to the Account List applet. During an application upgrade, your Account List applet and the Premium Account List applet will retain the configuration changes you made. However, both applets will receive the new out-of-the-box list columns added in the new version because of Upgrade Inheritance functionality. Without this new feature, the copied applet would not receive the new list columns during the upgrade process.
