For Colleges: Configuring Your Application Supplement

Customer Support Updated by Customer Support

Configuring your supplement varies depending on whether you're returning to this application method, or are new to it. Please follow the instructions below, depending on your particular situation.

Returning colleges

You have 2 options.

  1. Option 1: Edit Your Existing Supplement 

This is an appropriate option if you anticipate minimal edits. 

  • If your application is still open, filter out any new questions or answer values, or consider Option 2. You might filter on application term, round, or period, depending on how your instance is set up
  • To preserve information for '22-'23 applicants, consider filtering questions or answer values instead of deleting
  1. Option 2: Create a New Form

This is an appropriate option if edits are more substantial and/or if your '22-'23 application is still open for the current cycle.

  • The option to make the change will be within the Configuration Keys page

Copy your '22-'23 supplement form

    • From the current Coalition Application Supplement form, navigate to Edit Form > Copy Form
    • Make any desired changes
    • Update the Form Status to "Active"
  • Point the integration to your new form
    • Navigate to the Configuration Keys page (accessed via the Database page under the Configurations heading)
    • Navigate to Apply Page Redirect - Coalition Application Supplement under the Record Account Settings section
    • Select your new form from the dropdown (this requires the Security Administrator permission)
      Once you finalize your supplement and have been notified that the updated source formats are ready, your final step will be to test the full experience. Please find instructions on how to do this here.

New colleges

  1. Option 1: Wait for the finalized Coalition Application Supplement Form

Technolutions will make this  available in your Slate Forms Library Folder shortly. The anticipated release is sometime next week.

  1. Option 2: Create a New Form 
  • Technolutions still highly recommends using the provided Coalition Application Supplement Form rather than a common form used generally within your database, but you may opt to create your own form if the timeline for release of the provided form is a concern
  • Your new form must be application-scoped and active and must include a hidden field to set the Application Submitted Flag to Yes. Please be sure to follow all the settings shown in the screenshot below, including setting the Default Value to Yes and marking the field as Hidden. 

  • Review the Slate Knowledge Base article for additional guidelines. 
  • Point the integration to your new form
    • Navigate to the Configuration Keys page (accessed via the Database page under the Configurations heading)
    • Navigate to Apply Page Redirect - Coalition Application Supplement under the Record Account Settings section
    • Select your new form from the dropdown (this requires the Security Administrator permission)
      Once you finalize your supplement and have been notified that the updated source formats are ready, your final step will be to test the full experience. Please find instructions on how to do this here.
