## Reader Bins

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Workflow** | If a Workflow has been configured, the bin can be associated with the specific Workflow. Reader bins associated with the Default setting will be part of the primary reading process. |
| **Base** | This setting will more often than not be Applications. If a custom query base has been configured for the Reader, the Reader bin base must match. |
| **Status** | Bins should be set to active in order display in the Reader. Bins no longer in use should be set to inactive. Inactive bins will not display in the Reader. |
| **Grouping** | Configure a grouping to separate bins into different bin structures, e.g. Graduate vs Undergrad bin flow. |
| **Order** | Defines the order of the bins within the structure. |
| **Column** | Defines the column names within the bin structure. |
| **Name** | Give the bin a name. This name will be visible administratively only. |
| **Next Bins Insert** | Indicate which bins an application may move into from this bin. Adding bins here will restrict next bin movement options. |
| **Next Bin Default** | Pre-populate the next bin destination with a default bin. |
| **Checkout Mode** | Allow an application to be in one reader's queue at a time (exclusive), or allow the application be in multiple queues at a time (non-exclusive). |
| **Preset** | Automatically set the columns and filters for a specific bin based on a pre-set Reader query. |
| **Single Read** | Choose to warn readers if they have already read an application. |
| **Blind Read** | Choose to show or hide previous readers who have reviewed an application. |
| **Blind Video** | Choose to show or hide the video from displaying, but allow the audio. When viewing videos within a portfolio, the most common setting is to **Show video in portfolio.**Hiding the video is most commonly used by music programs wishing to preserve anonymity. |
| **Anonymous Read** | Choose to show or hide the applicant's name. |
| **Locked** | Allow or don't allow readers to manually add an application to their queues. |
| **Processing** | Allow or don't allow reader to reassign materials when reading applications in a bin. |
| **Annotations Privacy** | Allow readers to see all annotations or just their own annotations. |
| **Queue Notifications** | See [System Emails within Slate](/v1/docs/system-emails) for more instructions. |
| **Custom Read Permission** | Set a custom permission to control which users are able to view applications in the bin. |
| **Custom Move Permission** | Set a custom permission to control which users can select a bin in the next bin configuration. |
| **Move Anywhere Permission** | Create a custom permission to grant users the ability to send the application to any bin in the entire structure, not limited to the next bin configurations. |
| **Move Into Bin Warning** | Create a warning to alert readers when moving an application into a particular bin. |
| **Export Value** | Configure up to five export values for a bin. Export values can be used in exports to external systems, including student information systems. |
