Slot_Info / Slot ID Type-Slot Category/ID implementation issue

[Thierry Dupont]

Hi Everyone,


We are struggling with the implementation of Slot_Info. The standard can be confusing.


Below is the example of the most complicated Personality that we need to implement. We are not sure at all if it is correct. Integrity does not flag up anything and we are not sure either how we can try it.

Is there anyone who can check this over and telling if we are wrong or not?
Thanks.

Thierry,

It does take a bit to wrap your head around. Here's a couple previous threads on it where I've given some detailed examples that I think should be useful in understanding the relationships on dependencies and secondary slot types.

We also did a Webinar on this topic. You'll find about halfway through it we go through some concrete examples and detailed explanations on Slot_Info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5BmsJ7CeFE
