Update Your Instance Using New Features

Replace "Legacy" tools to take advantage of newer functionalities in Slate


Service Description

Looking to optimize your Slate database but struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of Technolutions' feature releases? Alana specializes in diagnosing and revitalizing older Slate databases, ensuring your systems are up-to-date, efficient, and responsive to your needs. Because Slate Administrators and business needs change over time, the initial setup of your Slate instance a few years ago might not be meeting your current needs and is most likely using some “legacy” tools that will no longer be supported by Technolutions in the coming years. With a focus on planning, prioritization, building, and testing, Alana can guide you through the process seamlessly. Some examples of large scale projects to utilize new functionality include: - Redesigning and building of the Reader workflow using the "workflows" tool, taking advantage of population permissions to consolidate your bin structure and automation. This update usually includes a redesign of the reader views, tabs, materials, review forms, and dashboards. - Creating evergreen assets that require no yearly maintenance through using configurable joins bases, new data structures, and dynamic content. Imagine never having to update your application pages, inquiry forms, event registration templates, population rules, decisions letters, or emails during cycle prep. - Simplifying a complicated period and round structure that confuses applicants and requires a lot of maintenance. Make it easier for your applicants to choose their application type, and include datapoints like term, application type, and student type to easily differentiate applications. - Consolidating materials and checklist items, deliver messages, application pages, decision letters, etc. Making fewer evergreen versions of these items allows you to eliminate duplicate rules and processes that previously supported the duplicated assets. - Using datasets and entities to store your complicated data to make the information more accessible and useable. - Transitioning reports, queries, and rules to the Configurable Joins bases. Set up a free call to talk through how I can help support you and your team as you consider if the new functionality within Slate can make for a better user and applicant experience.
