Pattern inheritance is automatic. Pattern inheritance uses the class name structure to determine rules available to reuse. It searches for the rule of interest following the class hierarchy — in other words, pattern inheritance searches classes that share a class name prefix.
Directed inheritance is inheritance between classes where the parent class is explicitly specified. You apply directed inheritance to reuse standard Pega Platform rules and rules from other applications outside the business class hierarchy. Unlike the automatic use of pattern inheritance, directed inheritance is explicit. You list directed inheritance on the class rule form
