Linking options between parent modules and child modules

To configure the refrigerator freezer appliance, you must set the options for each and every assembly. It may take a long time to set all the options, some of which are the same in all submodules. Also, if you consider the width, it would have to be set in the module for the carcass, the door, and the shelves. It may preferable to set the options at only the top level module for the entire appliance and have this value propagate through the structure. To do this, you must create links between the child modules and the current module (the main refrigerator assembly). You can create these links in two ways, as shown in the following figure: Options from the child module are presented up into the parent module where they are visible and can be set. Options in the parent module can set options in the child module. Presenting options

Note You cannot set the value of a private option from its parent public option. You can only set its public option in this way.
