The Database page is the starting point where Slate administrators can use when creating, managing, and maintaining the many features and processes in Slate. Administrators access the Database page frequently while building their business processes.
To access the Database page, select Database on the Slate navigation bar. The Database page appears and offers several features:
Search Database: Click this search field and start entering the name of a Slate tool. The page updates dynamically to show matching tools and features.
Pinned: This provides a place to “pin” frequently used tools for easy access.
Tool Categories: Slate tools are organized by their functional area.
Tools: Tool names are listed under each category. Select a tool or feature link to access that resource.
🌟 Best Practice
The Database page is ordered by category, not in order of importance to a successful implementation.
By contrast, the Slate Roadmap (for Admissions, Student Success, and Advancement) is ordered strategically to ensure success when implementing Slate.
Explore the Database page in the order presented in the implementation guide for your lifecycle to achieve a foundational understanding before working with the more powerful Slate tools.
