== The Slots Tab ==

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

The Slots tab provides a single window in which you may view,
create,
and edit <b>slots</b>.
Slots usually represent properties of classes or relationships between classes.
For example,
the <i>name</i> slot represents the property of having a name.
Once you have created a slot,
you can
[[PrF_UG_slots_attach_slot|attach]]
it to a class.
When <i>name </i> is attached to the <b>Person</b> class,
it represents the name of the person.

Although slots are usually thought of in terms of classes,
they can be defined and manipulated independently,
and can exist without any relationship to classes.

The tab consists of two panes:

<ol class='a'>
<li><p>
The
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_browser|Slot Browser]],
on the left,
shows all the slots in the project.
It allows you to
[[PrF_UG_slots_editing_slot_properties|edit]]
existing slots,
[[PrF_UG_slots_create_slot|create]]
new slots,
and
[[PrF_UG_slots_deleting_a_slot|delete]]
slots,
as well as work with
[[PrF_UG_slots_superslots_pane|superslots]].
</p>

<li><p>
When a single slot is selected,
the
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]]
for the selected slot is shown at the right.
The
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]]
allows you to name the slot,
choose its cardinality and value type,
define constraints,
defaults,
and maximum and minimum values,
as well as provide a brief description.
The
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]]
can be displayed as a separate window by clicking the <b>View Slot</b>
[[Image:PrF_UG_slots_slot.view_top_level.gif|slots_slot.view_top_level]]
button in the Slots Pane.
The
[[PrF_UG_slots_slot_editor|Slot Editor]]
can also be accessed from the
[[PrF_UG_classes_template_slot_pane|Templates Slots pane]]
in the
[[PrF_UG_classes_classes_tab|Classes Tab]].

</ol>
