Groups in Slate

This KB document explains how to use groups in Slate. Groups are an optional feature that can be used by programs to help organize their applications.

What are Grad Coord Groups?

Grad Coord Groups are an optional tool for organizing your program's applications in Slate, which can facilitate your program's application review process.

Note that these groups do not perform any actions in Slate. For example, adding an application to the "Deny (G90)" Decision group does not deny the application. Think of these groups as simple labels, which can be used to cluster your applications in queries and views.

While any Slate user reviewing an application can see an application's groups, only Slate users with Graduate Coordinator permissions can edit an application's groups. 

For an overview of groups in Slate and how to use them, please watch the webinar linked below or continue reviewing this KB document.

How do I add an application to a group?

You can edit an application's groups by filling out the GS Add/Update Grad Coord Groups form, which can be accessed while on the Application Tab or while reviewing the application in the Reader. 

How do I view an application's groups?

There are several places where you can view an application's groups in Slate.

What are the Different Group Types Available?

There are eight different group types available that you can assign to an application. Below are the different groups types you'll find in the GS Add/Update Grad Coord Groups form.

What is the Grad Coord Comments section of the form?

The Grad Coord Comments field is a specific place for Graduate Coordinators to add/edit comments for processing purposes. Unlike the comments that can be added and updated by anyone reviewing an application in Slate, these Grad Coord Comments are only accessible to those with Graduate Coordinator permissions, and therefore can be used more reliably/safely in the coordinating of your program's application review.

Like application comments, these Grad Coord Comments can be viewed in queries and in custom views in the Reader.
