What changes when a derived skill is updated

Fields and rules

  • The derived skill inherits all fields and rules (and their enabled or disabled states) from the base skill.
  • Fields deleted from the base skill are preserved as custom fields in the derived skill.
  • Rules deleted from the base skill are also deleted from the derived skill.
New rules added in the base skill are inherited with the following logic:
ConditionNew rules are…
Any base skill rule is enabled in the derived skillEnabled
Any related new fields are disabled in the derived skillDisabled
No base skill rules are enabled in the derived skillDisabled

Data catalogs and forms

  • If the structure of a data catalog has changed in the base skill, a new data catalog with the same structure is added to the derived skill.
  • The data form layout of the derived skill is preserved, with new fields appended at the end of the form.

Recognition settings

The derived skill inherits the recognition settings of the base skill.
