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:

1. Select a slot in the Slot Editor.

2. Click the right mouse button. The cascading slot menu will be displayed.

   

3. Make your selection and click the left mouse button.

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 Protege-Frames before you use metaclasses:

• Create slot: Creates a new slot. This operation is identical to clicking the Create Slot button.

• Create Subslot: Creates a subslot subordinate to the highlighted slot.

• 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.

• Delete Slot: Deletes the highlighted slot and all of its subslots, removing it from the current project. This operation is identical to the Delete Slot button.

• Change slot metaclass: (advanced) Changes the slot metaclass of the highlighted slot. See Changing the Slot Metaclass of a Slot for more information.

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

• Expand: Shows all slots subordinate to the highlighted slot. This is a multi-level display operation that is more extensive than clicking the icon, which only shows the next level of direct subslots.

• Collapse: Hides all slots subordinate to the highlighted slot. This is a multi-level display operation that is more extensive than clicking the icon to the left of the slot.
