Adding a New Input or Output Slot

You can add a new input or output slot to the flyout of a node. When adding new slots, the data type is unknown and is assigned by the sending node.

  1. From the menu bar, select View > Slot flyout view mode > Full.

  2. Hover over the left side of the node to open the input slot flyout, or the right side of the node to open the output slot flyout.

  3. Click New slot.

    A new slot is created with the name input for an input slot and output for an output slot.

  4. To rename the new slot:

    1. Right-click the slot name and select Rename from the context menu.

    2. Enter a new name into the text field.

      Slot names must begin with a letter or underscore. Subsequently, digits and dots are allowed as well, but nothing else.

    3. Press Enter.
