The Slate Reader provides a structured way to build and manage workflows that align with your institution’s review processes. Workflows allow staff to review, annotate, and evaluate records within a single interface. This supports collaboration across reviewers, reduces reliance on paper-based processes, and helps teams make more consistent, data-informed decisions. Reader Workflows organize the review process into a clear and efficient experience.
What is a workflow?
A workflow is a defined process that guides how records move through review.
Each workflow is made up of bins, which represent stages in the process (for example: Initial Review, Committee Review, or Final Decision). Records move between bins as they are reviewed, either manually by staff or automatically through rules.
Within each bin, users can:
Open and review records in Reader
Add notes and annotations
Assign ratings or scores
Take actions that move records forward in the process
Workflows can be customized to reflect your institution’s specific review structure, including multiple review stages, parallel review paths, and post-decision steps.
The Workflows (Legacy) Knowledge Base article provides procedures for the legacy process. Refer to that article only for general concepts. Follow the procedures described in this article when creating new workflows. Workflows created using the legacy process cannot be managed using the Workflows tool and vice versa.
Scope of This Guide
This document focuses on reviewing applications within a workflow. However, the same workflow structure can be used for other record types, including:
Person records
Dataset records
Enrollment records
The concepts and setup described here apply broadly across these use cases.
Creating a workflow
To create a new workflow:
Go to Database → Workflows.
Select New Workflow.
Configure the following settings:
Status: Select Active. Inactive workflows can prevent associated Reader tabs from loading as expected. To hide a workflow, select a custom permission rather than inactivating it.
Name: Enter a name that reflects the process or record type being reviewed. For example,
Application Review,Advising Notes Review, orEnrollment Audit.Type: Configurable Joins
Category: Select Records or Related, depending on the query base you’re trying to select.
Base: The base determines the type of records that pass through the workflow, like applications, persons, datasets, or enrollments.
Memo: Help users quickly identify the workflow with a label that appears alongside the workflow.
Realm: Optional. Only users granted access to the selected realm will be able to access this workflow.
Custom Permission: Defaults to Reader. Optionally assign a custom permission to control which users can access the workflow.
Homepage: Choose how the workflow homepage will appear in Reader:
Create New Report: Design a custom report to display on the workflow homepage. Requires configuration. This report appears in the
Readerfolder.
Report: You can display existing reports on the workflow homepage. To make your report appear in this list, place it in a folder called
Reader.
Select Save.
You arrive at the workflow’s overview page:
Select Edit Notes to create administrative notes for the workflow.
Select Snapshots to view a list of all changes to the workflow.

Configure the workflow by selecting the workflow components from the list at right. We’ll start with Bins.
Bins
The records that pass through a workflow move from one bin to another until they reach their final destination.
On the Bins page, you’ll organize your workflow like so:
Groups for high level organization
Columns for stages within a group
Bins for stops within a column
Groups
Groups can function as parallel tracks of a workflow, like Undergraduate and Graduate, or as a super-column level of organization, where completing one group moves the record to another.
⭐ You should create separate workflows (rather than groups in the same workflow) when processes are recurring or simultaneous.
Groups are porous in a way that separate workflows are not: you can move a record from one group to another with rules or administratively on the record. These groups help you to structure the overall process of a workflow, regardless of the record type being reviewed.
Your workflow comes with a Default Group. When you add additional groups, you can create rules to route records through one group or another, or place the record in a group manually. To create a grouping, select New Group, enter a name, and select Save. You can only delete a group if it’s empty.
After creating groupings, the next step is to define their columns. These components determine how records are reviewed and how they move through the workflow.
Columns
Columns organize the bins in a grouping. In most workflows, columns represent the major steps in a process, like Review, Committee, and Decision. To create a column:
Select Column and drag it into a group.
Enter a Column Name, then select Save.
Repeat with as many columns as are required for your workflow.

Bins
Bins represent the individual stages of review within a workflow. Each bin contains records that are currently in that stage of the process. Once columns are created, bins can be added to define the specific steps records will move through.
To create a bin, select Bin and drag it into a column:
.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-07-27T22%3A56%3A19Z&se=2026-07-27T23%3A31%3A19Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MDIHgNypn6eH7XvQctfwzLwd8yIfGBrkDE%2B0wETYrQw%3D)
Then, configure the following bin settings as necessary:
General
Status: Set to Active to display the bin in the Reader, Inactive to hide the bin when no longer in use.
Name: Provide a name for the stage, like Initial Review, Second Review, or Final Decision.
Default View: Change the columns available on the Search tab when viewing the list of records in the bin.
Read Settings
In the Read Settings tab, bins can be enabled for material processing. If materials need to be frequently reclassified from the reader, as when changing the material type or record, this setting allows reader access to the material metadata, which can also include fields with the same scope as the material type.
Refer to the Material Metadata article in the Knowledge Base for details regarding accessing material metadata from the reader.
Blind Read
Choose to show or hide previous readers who have reviewed record.
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 record’s name.
Processing
Set to Allow materials processing to let user reassign materials when viewing the records in this bin.
Within the selected bin, any queued materials now appear in the Reader with Editable next to the material type on the banner above them.
📖 Further reading: Material metadata
To edit the material:
Double-click the desired material (in the selected bin) to be edited.
Double-click the material type editable text above the material. The batch acquire apparatus appears.
It is possible to reassign the associated record under Assign To, and the related record under Material.
When a material-scoped form has been associated with the material type, that form will populate and material metadata can be entered or edited.
Click Save when reclassification and edits are complete. The material-scoped form and the metadata entered here will update records and related records.
Make sure that, beyond being associated with the correct person record, the correct application or related record is selected under Material. School-scoped fields can be mapped on a material-scoped form that is associated with school-scoped material metadata.
When accessing the material metadata form through the batch acquire sidebar, selecting a school record from the material setting means that those school-scoped fields will be updated as soon as the form is submitted. GPA can be assigned and calculated here without the aid of a reader review form.
Different transcript material types can use different material-scoped forms as well, to capture different GPA metrics and calculations.
Annotations Privacy
Allow readers to see all annotations or just their own annotations.
Next Bin & Queue Settings
Custom Read Permission: Set a custom permission to control which users are able to view records 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 record 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 a record into a particular bin.
Checkout Mode: Allow an record to be in one reader's queue at a time (exclusive), or allow the record be in multiple queues at a time (non-exclusive).
Single Read: Choose to warn readers if they have already read a record.
Locked: Allow or don't allow readers to manually add a record to their queues.
Next Bins Insert: Indicate which bins a record 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.
Configurations
Tooltip:
Export Value 1-5: Configure up to five export values for a bin. Export values can be used in exports to external systems, including student information systems.
Managing bins
Select Save to save the bin settings. Hover over a bin to access additional options:
Copy Bin: Duplicate the bin and adjust settings as needed.
Edit Bin: Update the bin configuration.
Delete Bin: Remove the bin.
Next, we’ll set up the automations that assign records to staff and move those records between bins.
Rules
Rules work the same in workflows as elsewhere in Slate. An example undergraduate review ruleset might include:
No-action rules to skip records with inactive periods, records not in an undergraduate round, and test records, respectively.
After these no-action rules fire, the workflow evaluates the record for rules that move records to the undergraduate Awaiting Submission bin, Awaiting Payment bin, Awaiting Materials bin, and First Read/Assign Reader bin, respectively.

Do-nothing rules
Workflow rules rebuild workflow assignments each time they run; as a result, manually assigned queues may be removed unless a rule explicitly preserves them. To maintain existing queue assignments, create a do-nothing rule (also known as a no action rule) that identifies records already assigned to a queue and skips reprocessing those records.
📖 Creating a workflow do-nothing rule
Creating a new workflow rule
To create automation rules:
Select New Rule.
Configure the following settings:
Name: Provide a descriptive name.
Base: The rule’s base is inherited from the base of the workflow.
Type: The rule type is fixed as Bin.
Trigger: Select a trigger to define when the rule should run.
Folder: Select a folder for organizational purposes. As with all rules, you can find workflow rules in Database → Rules.
Exclusivity Group: Assign the rule to an exclusivity group, if applicable.
Status: Set to Preview or Inactive initially, then update to Active after testing.
Select Save.
Rule filters and actions
Use Filters and Actions to define how records move through the workflow.
📝 Note
When you build rule filters, use
Workflow Record: [Workflow Name]. This ensures access to bins and workflow data created with the Workflow Editor. Avoid using Bin History, Application Reader Queue, or Current Bin: these are designed for legacy tools and will not return expected results.
Tabs
With rules in place, you can start constructing the Reader experience of this workflow with tabs. Reader tabs control how record information is displayed during review. Tabs can be customized to present data in a structured and user-friendly format.

Summary
Select Summary for an overview of the filters, material streams, and portals associated with the workflow’s Reader tabs. You can also:
Preview a record’s satisfaction of each tab’s material requirements by entering a record name in the search bar.
Preview tab visibility to the user selected from the dropdown.
Hover over the status symbol for more detail.

Creating a Reader tab
To create a new tab, select one of the tab types from the palette and drag it to the location it should appear in the Reader.

There are four tab types:
Materials: Displays materials, record data, Reader forms, events, cluster reports, messages, timeline data, decision letters, and more.
Link: Links to external websites or render portals in the Reader.
Portfolio: Renders multimedia collected on an application’s portfolio page.
Video Essay: Lets you view recordings collected on an application’s video essay page.
We’ll cover these types in greater detail shortly. For now, when you drag a tab of any type from the palette, a popup appears in which you can configure the following settings, shared by all tab types:
Status: Inactive tabs are hidden from all reviewers.
Name: Enter a label for the tab as it should appear to reviewers.
Memo: Add optional internal notes describing the tab’s purpose.
Custom Read Permission: If left blank, anyone with the ability to view the application within the selected base will be able to see this tab. We recommend using filters to restrict the conditions under which Reader tabs appear, but if permissions are required, wait until you’ve set up all tabs and materials before configuring them.
Color: Select an optional tab color.
New Material Highlighting: When enabled, the tab name font will appear green to indicate a new material has been associated with an application record after the current reader began to read the application. For example, if you start reading Alexander Hamilton’s application on a Monday morning and a new transcript is received on Monday afternoon, the next time you open that application in the Reader, the tab containing the transcript will appear in green to indicate this newly received material. Disable to always render tab names in the default color.

Filters: Add filters to control the conditions under which the tab appears to reviewers. For example, if a Reader tab should only appear to reviewers reviewing applications in a given bin, use a
Workflow Record: [Workflow Name] > Binfilter to restrict the tab.
Select Save.
Material streams
Material tabs let your reviewers analyze material streams.
Once you’ve saved a new materials tab’s initial configuration, you can select its Edit Materials icon:

In the material stream overview for the tab, you’ll find a palette of different material stream types:

Drag as many of the following material stream types from the palette as needed:

If you need more control over the data and its presentation being displayed in a Reader tab, use a Link tab to render a portal or open another location.
When you place a link tab, you can configure its URL Type:
URL
Paste a URL and the linked web page will render when the reviewer selects the tab:

ETS Score Report
If your application receives Educational Test Service tests like the GRE or TOEFL, you can display these test results as score reports in the Reader.
There are additional configurations required to render an ETS score report that we cover in Displaying ETS score reports in the Reader.
Portal
You can render a portal in the Reader.
Portfolio
This tab type deals exclusively in the multimedia submitted to the portfolio page in the Slate-hosted application.
In a portfolio Reader tab:

Select Maximize to view a given piece in full-size.

Video Essay
As with the portfolio tab type, video essays display the content captured by the video essay page in the Slate-hosted application.

Forms
Review forms capture ratings, comments, and evaluation data during the workflow process. These forms appear in the Reader and are typically associated with specific bins. The Forms tab lets you assign forms you’ve created to workflow bins and configure details about their submission conditions.
Creating a Reader review form
To create a review form, follow steps in our dedicated article, which includes an example that you can import into your database with Suitcase.
Assigning a review form to a workflow bin (or bins)
Drag a new Review Form from the palette and place it in the bin in which you want it to appear.

A popup appears in which you can configure the following settings:
Show in Bin: Defaults to the bin in which you dropped the Review Form from the palette.
Select Show in Other Bins to view a list of other bins in the workflow. Select as many as you want to assign the review forms. Forms that are linked in this way share the same configuration across bins. Select Clear Other Bins to clear your selection. Linked bins appear with a link icon:

Forms can be unlinked to allow independent customization. Select Unlink from Group to unlink all versions of this form associated with other bins, or pick and choose which bins are unlinked with the Relink Bins options:

Into Bin (optional): Display the form only when routing to a specific next bin. For example, you can show a form only when selecting Portfolio Review.
Review Form: Select a form from the list. Only forms in the
Review Formsfolder appear here.Required: Required review forms must be completed before moving the record to the next bin. Optional review forms are collapsed by default, and required fields on those forms only apply if the reviewer opens the form. Defaults to No.
Filter Base: Select the base on which you want to apply optional filters.

💡 Tip:
Use the Summary tab to test workflow logic and confirm record placement.
Views
Workflow views control how records are displayed in the Reader, including columns (exports), filters, and sorting. A default view must always exist and should include only universally visible data. You can make a new, custom view the default view, or modify the default—select Copy to duplicate the default view to preserve it. Select the default view to see what it displays:
.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-07-27T22%3A56%3A19Z&se=2026-07-27T23%3A31%3A19Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MDIHgNypn6eH7XvQctfwzLwd8yIfGBrkDE%2B0wETYrQw%3D)
To create a new view , select New View and configure the following settings:
Name: Enter a name for the view.
Status: Active views are visible in the Reader, Inactive views are not.
Default View: Slate uses this view as the default for all users for this base.
Pinned: Pin this view for all users with access to this view.
Exports: Each export represents a column within the Reader, and the content and format of the information therein. The name of the column will match the name of the export, and can be customized for clarity. To use record data in the reader, you will initially need to join to the type of record that the workflow is displaying (Application, Person, or Dataset Record). See resources on Querying with Configurable Joins for more help building your view.
Filters: Use the query tool to build the columns and rows that will display in the Reader when the view is selected. Filters will limit the number of records displaying in the Reader.
Sorts: Sorts will determine the order that records display in the Reader. If none are selected, the records will display in alphanumeric order based on the value in the first Export in the view.
Restricting access to a view
While you’re editing a view, select the Access Permissions tab. Grantees can be given permission to access the view or access and modify it.
.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-07-27T22%3A56%3A19Z&se=2026-07-27T23%3A31%3A19Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MDIHgNypn6eH7XvQctfwzLwd8yIfGBrkDE%2B0wETYrQw%3D)
Views in the Reader
In the Slate Reader, views can be accessed by selecting the Searcher (abacus) icon near the top right corner of the Browse, Search, Queue, Recent, and Classify tabs. The Searcher icon turns yellow to indicate that one or more filters are being applied through the current view, thus limiting the records displayed. The name of current view will also appear next to the Searcher icon unless it has been updated by the user and not yet saved as a personal view. In those cases, that area will appear blank to indicate that the display deviates from a shared view. Hitting Reset View from the Searcher icon drop-down will always revert to the default view for that workflow, even within a bin with a bin-specific default view configured.
If a view has the “Pinned” option selected and the current user has access to it, it will appear in a drop-down beneath the standard options of Customize View and Reset View.
.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-07-27T22%3A56%3A19Z&se=2026-07-27T23%3A31%3A19Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MDIHgNypn6eH7XvQctfwzLwd8yIfGBrkDE%2B0wETYrQw%3D)
The Customize View pop-out allows users to add/remove exports, filters and sorts. The modifications are temporary and will be reflected when a user hits Update, but they can also be copied to create a Personal View for the user which can be saved and accessed again. Personal Views are only accessible to the user who created them, and will not display for others, including Admin/All Access Users.
Users with the Manage Shared Views system permission will be able to save updates to a shared view, as will users who have been granted Modify View permission for a particular view in the Workflows tool. Ensure that these users are aware of this, and are instructed to only save Personal Views unless intentionally seeking to make a universal update to a shared view.
🔔Important: Ensure Data Privacy
Users in the Slate Reader will never be able to add exports/filters to a view if they do not have read permissions for that field. However, if sensitive fields are added to a view, they will still appear for all users with access to that view. When creating views as an administrator, ensure that the roles and grantees added to the view align with any exports being displayed. Only include fields in the default view that all reader users should be able to see. You can rely on users with high levels of Slate access to add the exports they need to views within the workflow at their own discretion within the Reader.
Dashboards
In the Reader, selecting the record name tab displays a summary lookup for that record. There, a dashboard provides a variety of information by default. The Dashboards tab manages information that appears in this lookup dashboard. You can create new dashboards here and edit the default.
Dashboard settings
Select Edit to configure settings that apply to all dashboards in the workflow. These include:
Disable Lookup for All Bins
Disable PDF Download
Disable Review Forms
Disable Decisions
Disable Other Applications
Selecting an item here removes it from the Reader Lookup tool. This can be set to hide or display Reader Lookup parts for all bins in the workflow, or for specific bins.
Creating or editing a Reader dashboard
Select the default dashboard to edit it, or select New Dashboard. In the popup, enter a name and optionally clone the new dashboard from the default.

You arrive at the Edit Dashboard page. We cover editing dashboards and the queries that drive them in the dedicated dashboard article.
