You can change settings for the standard record tabs in Database → Tabs.

The default record tabs that come with a Slate for Admissions 4-year database
Some tabs, like the application record’s Details or the person record’s More Information, are made using the same custom tab tool that you have access to.
Others, like the tabs prefixed by System -, are built into Slate and have different settings.
Select the tab you’d like to customize, or select Insert to create a custom tab.
