The LMS contains many types of notifications. There are enrollment notifications, evaluation notifications, manager notifications, and many more. Some of these are sent immediately while others are queued and sent overnight. Since there are so many different types of notifications, it is important to understand the purpose of each one and how to properly set them up to ensure that they are being utilized correctly.
Within the LMS, notifications can be found in three main areas:
Specific notifications on both the Resource level and Media Type level must be enabled. If they are not enabled then the LMS will automatically send the corresponding system-wide default notification, when applicable.
The Enrollment type notifications that are found on the Notifications tab of Maintain Learning Resources and Maintain Media Types and in the System Default Notifications are for elective enrollments only. If a learner is in the required audience of a course, these enrollment notifications will not be sent.
For learners in a required audience, the Required Course Notifications must be used or the learner will not be informed of the required enrollment. For detailed information on required course notifications, see the Online Help section Reminders for Required Courses.
