== The Slot Menu ==

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

Whenever you have a slot selected in the Slot Editor,
you can access the cascading slot menu by clicking the right mouse button.
This menu allows you to perform a number of slot-related tasks.

To access the slot menu:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Select a slot in the
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]].


<li>
Click the right mouse button.
The cascading slot menu will be displayed.

 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot_menu.png|slots_slot_menu]]</div>


<li>
Make your selection and click the left mouse button.

</ol>

The slot menu allows you to perform the following tasks.
Not all tasks are available at all times;
tasks that cannot be performed are grayed out.
Note that metaclasses and metaslots are advanced features;
you should have a good understanding of {{#var:PrF}} before you use metaclasses:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.create.gif|slots_slot.create]]
Create slot:
[[PrF_UG_slots_create_slot|Creates]]
a new slot.
This operation is identical to clicking the Create Slot
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.create.gif|slots_slot.create]]
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_buttons|button]].


<li>
Create Subslot:
[[PrF_UG_slots_creating_subslot|Creates a subslot]]
subordinate to the highlighted slot.


<li>
Create subslot using slot metaclass...: (advanced) If you have added slot metaclasses to your project,
allows you to create a new subslot,
using a slot metaclass as a template.


<li>
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.delete.gif|slots_slot.delete]]
Delete Slot:
[[PrF_UG_slots_deleting_a_slot|Deletes]]
the highlighted slot and all of its subslots,
removing it from the current project.
This operation is identical to the Delete Slot
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.delete.gif|slots_slot.delete]]
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_buttons|button]].


<li>
Change slot metaclass: (advanced) Changes the slot metaclass of the highlighted slot.
See
[[PrF_UG_meta_change_metaslot|Changing the Slot Metaclass of a Slot]]
for more information.


<li>
Change slot metaclass of subslots: (advanced) Changes the slot metaclass of all subordinate slots to the slot metaclass of the highlighted slot.


<li>
Expand:
Shows all slots subordinate to the highlighted slot.
This is a multi-level display operation that is more extensive than clicking the
[[Image:PrF_UG_all_hierarchy.collapsed.gif|all_hierarchy.collapsed]]
icon,
which only shows the next level of direct subslots.


<li>
Collapse:
Hides all slots subordinate to the highlighted slot.
This is a multi-level display operation that is more extensive than clicking the
[[Image:PrF_UG_all_hierarchy.expanded.gif|all_hierarchy.expanded]]
icon to the left of the slot.

</ul>
