Configuring structures by modular variants > Using modular variants
Linking public and private options
To enforce modularity, it is only possible to link options between a parent and its immediate child modules; you cannot skip a module level. To cascade down or up more than one level, you must repeat the linking process as necessary. Teamcenter enforces the following restrictions on linking: You can only present public options up from the child module. You cannot present them down from the parent module. You can only link options from the parent module to public options in the child module, although the option in the parent module can be public or private.
