What about "primary" and "secondary".

Dear Vixens and Reynards:
My boss just dropped an interesting one on me. I use the terms
"master" and "slave" in my app. He asked me to not use "slave" with
anyone else, presumably because of someone taking it wrong. I said
that I would see if I could come up with something.
So what can I use for alternatives? I have Web-searched to see
what others are doing and did not find anything that would fit for my
second case.
I use "master" and "slave" in two senses.
1) We have the Master Station from which the high-level
functionality of the system is done. We have various Slave Stations
which are used mainly for DE. The Master Station is also used for DE.
I have come up with "master" and "satellite". Reasonable?
2) The second one is puzzling me. I have forms with an (often) key
portion (master) and a non-key portion (slave). "key" and "non-key"
are awkward and do not communicate well to a non-IT person. "parent"
and "child" is not accurate. What do you suggest?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
