Updating Student Profile Import Settings
Undergraduate Slate databases include an active Slate.org Student Profile Data source format by default. This source format imports data shared with your institution by students enrolled in Slate.org. Activate or deactivate student profile sharing in the Slate.org Application Sharing Settings.
To deactivate student profile data sharing:
1. Click Database on the main navigation bar, and in the Configurations section, select Slate.org Settings.
3. Under Student Profile Import Settings, click the pause icon next to Receiving Shared Student Profiles is Active. A Pause Receiving Shared Profile Data popup appears.
To reactivate student profile data sharing:
1. Click Database on the main navigation bar, and in the Configurations section, select Slate.org Settings.
3. Under Student Profile Import Settings, click the pause icon next to Receiving Shared Student Profiles is Paused. A Pause Receiving Shared Profile Data popup appears.
Student Profile Data Files
Every few hours, a web service runs to check for eligible records, similar to the application data sharing service.
The data is sent to the web service endpoint in your database for the source format and imported data if it finds that a registered student:
- Indicated that they wish to share their data with colleges
AND
- Attended a visit with that college scheduled through Slate.org
These data files appear in Upload Dataset Sources in your Slate database after your scheduled Slate.org visit has concluded.
You may create a new person record if a student does not yet exist in your Slate database. Existing records match on the following fields:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Birthdate
- School CEEB
Additionally, students will be added as registrants to the corresponding Slate.org visit in your Slate database.
For information regarding Slate.org Visits, refer to Slate.org Visits documentation.
