10.8.3 Create a Multi-Slot Connection
A multi-slot connection can be used to connect a number of different data points together
under one umbrella. It can be considered as a cable with many wires, each wire represented
by a slot with a label. For example, one can create a multi-slot connection for a structured
data point, connecting each child data point to another technology. All those slots appear
under the same connection, but data points only exchange data with other points in the
same connection slot.
To Create a Multi-Slot Connection
1. Navigate to the (structured) data point to be connected.
2. Select the data point and drag it into the connections list to create a new connection.
3. A dialog prompts the user whether to create a multi-slot connection or use the user data
point as a single entity in the connection. Choose Yes to create a multi-slot connection.
4. A multi-slot connection is created as shown in Figure 20. The multi-slot connection
can be collapsed or expanded. In the expanded view it shows all slots. Select the top-
level multi-slot connection to view all data points in the connection. Select a single slot
beneath to view only data points in that slot.
