What is true of it
B♭6 is B♭, D, F and G — 1, 3, 5 and 6 counted from B♭.
These are also the notes of Gm7/B♭. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.
On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is x10031: 3 fingers, held at the 1st fret.
3 of them use open strings, which is what makes a shape quiet to change to.
1 string stays silent.
Where its notes are on the neck
The brass dots are B♭, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
