Creating a Subslot

Normally, whenever you create a new slot, it is a top-level slot. However, you can also create a subslot of an existing slot. You might do this, for example, when you want two slots which share information, but where one slot (the subslot) is more restrictive. 

To create a subslot of a slot:

  1. In the Slot Tab, select the slot that you want as the parent of your subslot.
  2. Click the right mouse button.
  3. Select Create subslot from the slot menu.
  4. The new slot is created as a subslot of the selected slot. Except for the name, when created, it has the same properties as its parent slot. 
  5. You can use the Slot Form to edit the properties of the new slot.
