Notifications is an optional scheduling parameter. It enables test administrators to customize email notifications sent to individuals enrolled in a test. These email notifications are separate from other email notifications found under the Options tab. You can create various email notifications based on your Deadline and Frequency settings. Keep in mind that test takers (and anyone on the email distribution list) will receive these emails at various times throughout the year.
email notification options include:
X days before deadline, repeat every X days
X days after deadline, does not repeat
X days before eligibility, repeat every X days
X days after eligibility, repeat every X days
Repeating the email notification is optional.
Email notifications can be used for the following:
Sent to the Test taker, test administrator who is managing the course, or others.
Saved to a file for use in other tests, for editing purposes or both.
Imported into a test from an external TG-friendly rtf file.
To access email notifications, click the Add button to open the Send Email window. This is where the test administrator can specify the various email settings associated with the Deadline and Frequency scheduling. Note: There can be more than one email notification.
We recommend establishing a policy regarding email content and frequency. If you have also enabled some of the other email notifications found under Test Settings > Test Properties > Options tab, your test takers and other staff members on your email distribution list, may get various test email notifications.
This is the ”r;stage” where you compose emails. As noted above, if you have already composed a message and saved it in a separate .rtf file, you can import it. It appears in the stage area. You can also cut and paste a formatted text message into the stage area, for example, from a MS Word document.
Add placeholders to the message by selecting the placeholder you wish to add and then selecting the + button located to the right of the placeholder. This inserts the placeholder into your text document. If you insert it in the wrong place, click the Undo icon to remove it.
