What is true of it

Edim7 is E, G, B♭ and D♭ — 1, b3, b5 and bb7 counted from E.

The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is 012020: 3 fingers, held at the 1st fret.

2 of them use open strings, which is what makes a shape quiet to change to.

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.
