- Workable Area: the Workable Area

in Adobe © InDesign ©.
A designer will define this area using an Adobe © InDesign © frame in a document template.
The Workable Area is a dynamic area where products will be placed in Desktop Publisher.
- Slot: the Slot is a place in a document template where a product is placed while planning the document template in Whiteboard. A planner will split the defined
Workable Area of a document template into N number of rows and columns according to his need in Whiteboard. Thus, he will create a slot, which is a separate space for each product. Now, a planner can place products into separate slots, where one slot will contain a single product.
