OOP - change status of VI in OOP

[hippo Th]

Hello,

attached/below are two connected VI's.

1. What does the symbol mean in the red square?
2. How can I change the status on the second VI to the first one?

In my opinion the both VI's should be the same one - except in one detail. But I don't know these detail. :-(

1. It is a call parent method. 

2. Placing the Call Parent Method (located in the cluster, class & variants palette) will adopt the parents method if the criteria in the aforementioned document is satisfied.
