Editing a Top-Level Slot

You can edit the top-level properties of a slot directly from the Slots Tab or by using the top-level View button at the Template Slots pane. Editing at the top-level changes the definition of the slot. The changes appear everywhere the slot occurs, including the Slots Tab and all the classes that reference the slot.

To edit the top-level properties of a slot from the Slots Tab:

  1. Select the slot you wish to edit in the Slot pane of the Slots Tab
  2. Click the View slot button. This opens the Slot Form for the selected slot. 

To edit the top-level properties of a slot from the Template Slots pane in the Classes Tab:

  1. Select a class in the Class Relationship pane in the Classes tab.
  2. Select the slot you wish to edit in the Template Slots pane.
  3. Click the View Top-Level Slot Template Slot button at the upper right of the template Template Slots pane  or double-click the slot and make sure View top-level slot is selected in the Select Slot View dialog box, then click OK.
    This opens the Slot Form for the selected slot. Note that there may be restrictions on the edits that can be performed on an inherited slot.

You can also override the slot properties at a class and all of its subclasses without changing the top-level slot. See Overriding Slot Properties at a Class for more information.
