A source format is a collection of standardized settings and criteria for a dataset uploaded frequently from the same source. The Source Format Library offers predefined integration configurations for many common data sources. Most require little or no customization.
Slate features more than 170 unique source formats, with more being added continuously. When you embark on a new integration with a third-party service, check for a standard source format in the Source Format Library, using the search bar to narrow the list down.
To access the Slate Source Format Library:
- From the main navigation, select Database.
- Under Import and Data Processing, select Source Format Library.
If you don't see the third-party you're looking for in the list, you can take the first step to creating a new integration by making a custom source format.
Note
Source formats that import test score data require the corresponding test objects to be added from the Slate Template Library.

We've recreated the list of source formats and included descriptions for each, as well as links to relevant documentation, in this article. Some source formats in the Source Format Library have multiple versions, usually an active version along with deprecated versions from previous years.
