The Slot Sheet is a table that shows the following for each slot:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Slot | Components are collections of three types of slots:
|
| # | Identifies a serial numbers given to the each slot as it is added. |
| Name | Provides unique name within the slot type. Slot names must contain ASCII letters or numbers. |
| Display Name | Reports the name for the slot that the user sees. |
| Definition | Identifies if the slot is frozen or dynamic. A frozen slot is defined at compile time within a Type's Java class. That means that frozen slots are consistent across all instances of a specified Type—they don’t change. Dynamic slots may be added, removed, renamed, and reordered during runtime—they can change. |
| flags | Reports the indicators (flags) that modify an object’s presentation or behavior. For example, read–only, operator allowed, and hidden, are three of the slot flags that may be used to restrict the presentation or behavior of an object. |
| Type | Indicates the data type of the configuration property. |
| Facets | Contain metadata about an object. For example, the object’s unit of measurement is a type of facet. Facets may be viewed in the slot sheet and edited from a component Property Sheet. |
The Slot Sheet also optionally shows any Name Maps. The Slot Sheet includes the following menus:
