Setting | Description |
---|---|
Active | Set the status to ‘Active’ when it is time for the period to receive applications. In general, all future and prior periods should be set to ‘Inactive.’ |
Folder | Keep your records organized by putting them in a folder. Select Other to create a new folder. |
Year |
This required field is the year to which applicants will apply. For example, the period year 2022 may include the enrollment terms Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. |
Name |
The period name is a student-facing value in the Slate-hosted application. The best practice recommendation is to name the period after the application (i.e., “Slate University Application”). |
Period Key |
Period keys use-cases are minimal and are primarily used to delineate between multiple active applications. It is best practice to only have one active application period at a time. |
Period Path | Use-cases for this are even less likely that Period Key. This setting can be used to override certain shared application files for a particular period. |
Export Value | Configure an export value for the application period. This is typically a short value or code that is used by external systems (such as an SIS) upon the consumption of application data from Slate. |
Allow Multiple | This setting is applicable only to Slate-hosted applications. Selecting 'Allow multiple applications' allows an applicant to submit more than one application in this particular Period. Note: This setting must be set to 'Allow multiple applications' if applicants are to submit multiple applications within the same Round. |
Application / Status Page |
This setting will enable or disable the application status page for applications associated with this period. Disabling this setting will also disable any Slate-hosted applications associated with the period. |
Custom Status Portal |
If a custom portal was built using the Portal Editor tool, set the custom portal here to override the standard Slate application status portal. |
