    Perhaps lack of information on my side, but "inheritence" is a concept of java and other programming languages?


    Appian does these kind of "tricks" in a/some different way/ways.

    • Using/calling one form as part of another form,
    • Navigation pattern like stefan mentioned
    • just reusability of the same form in different contexts.


    "SAIL Forms" are a structured "UI frame" to display the data provided, it is not an instance of something which can inherite or can be inharited from.

    .

    • A "menu" done as "site" , can call different sail forms, 
    • stefans link is pretty useful there to give some input, if its done as part of a "sail form", which calls different sections and displays them via showWhen conditions. 

    My first thought: What is the basic idea? What do you try to archive with using a menu?
