The most obvious way to use inheritance is as a template for a number of jobs that are the same except for the values of some parameters. For example when you need to backup 5 database you can create a database backup template and 5 jobs that inherit from that template. In each job, you only need to enter the name of the database to backup. the rest will be pre-configured.

| You can configure an existing job as a template by checking its "Job template" property so you can be able to select them when creating a job. |
Configuration Variables
Another common use is to define variables for use in many jobs. For example, let's say you have many jobs that need to copy files from/to a fileserver. You can put the path to this fileserver in a configuration-job that is inherited by all your jobs. If at some point in the future you move the files to another location, you just have to modify the central configuration job.
