== Adding a Slot to a Class ==

{{PrF_UG_TOC_slots}}<div id='prf_ug'>

You can attach a slot to one or more classes.
For example,
the Prototype_Newspaper class has a Weekday slot,
which can be used to choose among the days of the week.
If you were creating a new type of employee who wrote a weekly feature,
you might want to reuse this slot.
You can create an association between a slot and a class in one of two ways:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
[[#Attaching_a_Slot_to_a_Class|attaching the slot to a class]]


<li>
[[#Adding_a_Class_to_the_Domain_of_a_Slot|adding a class to the domain of the slot]]

</ul>

=== Attaching a Slot to a Class ===

To attach a slot to a class:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Display the
[[PrF_UG_classes_class_editor|Class Editor]]
for the desired class.


<li>
Click the Add Slot
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.add.gif|slots_slot.add]]
button at the top right of the
[[PrF_UG_classes_template_slot_pane|Template Slots pane]].
The Select Slots form will display all of the slots you can add to the class.

 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_template_slots_select.png|slots_template_slots_select]]</div>


<li>
Select the slot(s) you wish to add to your class.
To add more than one slot,
hold down Ctrl (Cmd) while clicking,
or use the Shift key to select a range of slots.


<li>
Click OK.
The selected slot(s) are added to the Template Slots pane as directly attached slot(s),
displayed with a blue rectangle
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.gif|slots_slot]]
icon.

</ol>

If you wish to
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|edit]]
or
[[PrF_UG_slots_override_slot|override]]
a slot after adding it,
double-click it or click the View Top-Level Slot
<div>[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.view_top_level.gif|slots_slot.view_top_level]]</div>
or the View Slot at Class
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.view_overrides.gif|slots_slot.view_overrides]]
button to display the
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]].
See
[[PrF_UG_slots_editing_a_slot|Viewing a Slot]]
and
[[PrF_UG_slots_editing_slot_properties|Editing Slot Properties]]
for more information.

=== Adding a Class to the Domain of a Slot ===

The domain of a slot
(i.e.,
the list of the classes to which the slot is attached)
is shown in the
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor#Domain|Domain]]
facet of the
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]].
You can associate a slot to a class by adding the class to the domain of the slot:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Display the
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]]
for the desired slot.
The Domain is located at the bottom right of the Slot Editor.


<li>
Click the Add Class
[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_class.add.gif|classes_class.add]]
button at the top right of the Domain facet.


<li>
Select the class(es) you wish to add to your slot.
To add more than one class,
hold down Ctrl (Cmd) while clicking,
or use the Shift key to select a range of classes.

 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_classes_classes_select.png|classes_classes_select]]</div>


<li>
Click OK.
The selected class(es) are added to the Domain for the slot.
If you view the Class Editor for the class(es),
