Datroom Database Walkthrough: User Management, Credits, and Best Practices

Explore a detailed walkthrough of the Datroom database, covering user management, application decisions, credit allocations, and best practices for internal notes and session handling.

By Tristan Sigerson

In this guide, we'll learn how to review and manage user applications in the Datroom database. We will cover how to handle user statuses, update decision labels, manage credits, and add internal notes for declined users. This guide will help you keep your application process organized and clear.

Let's get started

Okay. Doing a Datroom database walkthrough. Start from the top; it's user. Okay, this looks good. We had a few bullet points, such as "Never sold to more than two parties." These bullet points should go under the subheader, followed by a sentence and two sub-bullet points.

That seemed to be fine. I mentioned that we should change this to names we would use for ourselves, which might sound like we are calling ourselves names.

When we reach the decision stage, we should change it to either "declined" or "accepted," not just "decision." Green may indicate a positive decision. That's unclear. All right, I'll reject this user.

We wouldn't send that to them, but it's for our own internal notes on members or users. I'm assigning it to the user as requested. They should change it so it is declined.

If you decline, you should move from under review to declined without giving a reason. Just state declined. This is not exactly correct, like credits remaining.

We have free credits, and then there is a monthly allocation of 1,000. Look at the previous generation of this, because it's 300. They receive 333 credits upon signing up. After that, they can purchase 1,000 credits each month. So it's not available ... This would be 333 credits. A different category would show the total amount spent, such as the total monthly allotment used.

I'm not sure if this token is saved in the browser or why it is pre-populated on this screen or in the search.

The session should follow best practices. I'm not sure if I left this at this stage last time, but I don't think so. I think it's from a different account. Here, this goes to one.

If you try to go over something, you should be able to pay this over your monthly allotment of 1,000. This should probably be split, right?

Credits remain as requested and are now available. Then, 12 credits are requested, leaving 333 credits remaining. The credits applied should be 12. The order should be clear, because this is unclear. This spacing is incorrect.
