Notifications Overview

Deep dive: How to Administer and Configure Notifications


What are Notifications?

Notifications are emails that are triggered by various changes with training objects and time-based triggers such as reminders. These messages are generally short and concise. With Course and Learning Path related notifications, the triggers are based on changes other than enrolment status changes as these are handled by Enrolment Messages. The Notifications function contains approximately 80 standard configurable emails that are categorised into folder structures. Standard notifications are available for the following training functions Courses, Course templates, Learning paths, Forums, Bookshelf, Skills, Job profiles, Resources, Certificates, Automatic enrolments / recertification, On-the-job training, and Channels.

This page provides key information related to on Notification administration and configuration possibilities.


Notification Administration

There are some notification related settings within Courses, Course templates and Learning paths. These settings allow administrators to adjust activation statuses, notification text or triggers, and for monitor sent messages.

Notification Sending

The sending of Notifications can be activated or deactivated per course or course template. This is ideal for preventing some courses from sending unwanted correspondence; For example, importing historical course completion records. There is one main meta tag setting that controls whether Notifications are sent, but there are many other related settings that control specific workflows.

Meta Tag Settings

The following list of meta tags are used in notification workflows:

  • Send enrolment messages (if configured) (ID 10132)
    This important meta tag is not only related to Enrolment Messages as the name suggests; it also controls whether Active notifications will be sent relating to courses and learning paths. If the checkbox is ticked, any Active notifications will send when a trigger condition is met.

  • Administrator (ID 10007)
    The Administrator meta tag is important for courses as the Administrator is often listed as a recipient in Notifications. If there is no user selected as an Administrator, any active Notification with the Administrator as a recipient will not send.
    Note: For Learning paths there is no Administrator meta tag as multiple administrators can be assigned via the Administrators tab.

Tutors

For some notifications there is the possibility to list the Tutor email as a notification recipient. If there are active notifications with the Tutor as the recipient, then only course tutors where the E-mail notification checkbox is ticked in the Tutors tab will be sent the notification. This allows controlling which tutors are informed on course enrolment updates.

Notification Manual Dispatching

The administrators can use the System messages and Message monitor functions to manually send notifications with a Prepared status. These are notifications where trigger conditions have been met, but the Dispatching mode setting in the Recipient(s) tab is set to Send messages manually (Administrator has to release the messages). To release, highlight the notifications and click the Send/resend icon.

Message Monitoring

Administrators will be able to monitor that Notifications are sending for all Courses and Learning paths. This can be done centrally and per Course or Learning path. Administrators are also able to view message sent statuses and resend if required.

System Messages

The System messages function is a central log where System Administrators are able to view all recorded messages. Here messages can be viewed in either a Recipient-centered view or Chronological view tab.

  • Recipient-centered view: User-based view where searching is based on user first name, last name or email. Here it's possible to bulk select users and clicking the 'Show system messages’ icon will display a list of all Notifications, and Enrolment Messages, sent to the selected users in a new tab. Details will include the sent date, message subject and status. If needed, messages can be directly resent or edited before resending. 

  • Chronological view: Time-based view where searching is based on a date range, message type, status or specific Notifications. Here it is possible to 'Show recipients’ of messages sent at specific times with details including the sent date, message subject and status. If needed messages can be directly resent or edited before resending.

Message Monitor

The Message monitors for Courses and Learning paths functions are available via the Notifications icon. Here all Notifications, Enrolment Messages, and Learning Logic emails sent for the selected Course or Learning path are visible. Like the central System messages function there are options for both Recipient-centred view and Chronological view. This feature provides Course Administrators the ability to view all messages sent for their Courses to ensure emails are being correctly distributed. If there are errors they will be tracked in the Status column and the Course Administrator will be able to attempt a Resend’ or request a log file investigation to help identify the potential cause of the error.

Course Specific Notifications

Within the Course templates and Courses functions, administrators will be able to further configure course related notifications that are either Active or Visible for course and templates. This is ideal to individually control or adapt notifications per course and can be done in the Course Templates or Courses functions using the Edit notifications icon. Possible use cases could be to adjust the notification texts or trigger conditions (e.g. days before/after, statuses, changes).

Course_Notifications_Notifications_icon_en.png

Course Edit Notifications icon Notifications option for course specific notification changes

Editing a course specific Notification provides the exact same tab options as editing via the Notifications function (explained later). When editing the course Notification via the Course Template function, the changes made to the Notifications will automatically be inherited by Courses later created from the Course Template; whereas any changes made directly via the Courses function will only apply for the single Course.

Configuration Steps

The Notifications function is where the notifications are configured system wide. As standard there are over 80 notifications that can be further edited and duplicated. The notifications are completely configurable in terms of defining the texts, adjusting triggers, setting filters, and defining recipients. This section will cover how notifications can be activated, updated, and extended.

Notifications are not bound by Clearances as with other objects; therefore, any administrator with access rights to the Notifications function can view, activate, edit, and duplicate all existing notifications.

Notification Activation

Notifications are arranged in folder structures that can be expanded to view available notifications. In a default configuration the notifications are not active and it’s recommended to view available notification to determine what is required. Once folders are expanded, there are three checkboxes as described below:

  • Active: When ticked, the Notification will be sent the internal messages function. Course related notifications can also be edited by administrators at Course template or Course level.

  • Visible for Courses and Templates: When ticked, course related notifications will be visible in Courses and Course templates functions for administrators to activate or edit. This can only be ticked for Course notifications where the Active checkbox is not already ticked.

  • Permit external forwarding: When ticked and the notification is Active, the notification will be forwarded to the recipients' external mailbox; e.g. Outlook email.

Notifications_function_en.png

Notification Editing

Notifications are edited by expanding folders to display the notifications, then highlighting a single notification, and clicking the Edit icon. This will open a new browser tab with that contains the following sub-tabs:

  • Description: Name of the notification can be defined for each activated platform language. This name is for administration purposes and the name is not seen by recipients. It’s recommended to give a meaningful name that considers the message content and trigger conditions.

  • Condition: This is where triggers are defined or described. The available trigger options differ for each standard notification and some are fixed. Editable triggers normally relate to statuses and date intervals e.g. Send notification for certain statuses at an interval before or after a date.

  • Filter: Used to further limit circumstances for which the notification is sent based on meta tag or attribute values. The attribute options are more the functional meta tags with elements such as Providers, Locations, Learning modes, and Cancellation types.

  • Notification: Is where the notification Subject, Body text, and Sender details are defined. Variable placeholders are used to make the notifications dynamic. The available variable placeholders are displayed in folders on the right hand side. For Course and Learning path notifications the sender details can dynamically update; this occurs when a filtered Provider is linked to a Client and the Use provider-specific e-mail settings checkbox is ticked. Standard notifications are written in plain text and if needed notifications can be rewritten in HTML; if so, ensure in the Configuration function Security menu that the Sanitize request checkbox is unticked.

  • Recipient(s): Here is where the recipients of notifications are defined. The available recipients will differ based on the type of notification; for example, only Course notifications will offer Tutors as a recipient. The Dispatching mode radio buttons (Automatic or Manual by course administrator) determine if the notification sends Automatically or is released Manually by the administrator. Some notifications also will have a Master domains selection field that essentially allows further filtering for specific clients.

Once changes are complete, click the Save button and the changes will take effect immediately.

Notification Creation

The ability to create new notifications is limited due to the complexity of trigger conditions. When clicking the Create icon there are three options:

  1. Notification (Course)

  2. Notification (Learning path)

  3. Duplicate

The first two options are used to create notifications that alert recipients when values of selected meta tags or meta elements (attributes) change; for example, alerting Tutors when the planning status of their courses move from a Locked to Released status.

Duplication though is the widest used option as it enables duplicating existing notifications where small changes to conditions and texts are required; for example, having multiple reminder notifications for pending course start dates or skill expiry dates. This approach is commonly used to create specific notifications for different training Providers or Learning modes defined in the Filter tab.

As a reminder, Notification body text can be written in HTML if the Sanitize request checkbox in the Configuration function Security menu is unticked. A ticked Sanitizer request checkbox will remove <html> header tags upon saving for security and display remaining HTML tags in notifications.

Notification Scheduled Cron Job

Notifications that distribute automatically using date-based triggers require an active scheduled cron’ job. Crons are jobs that can be scheduled to run automatically at desired times or manually triggered to perform background software tasks. The use of crons is very common in web-based applications and the imc Learning Suite is no exception with a large amount of jobs to process on a regular basis including Notification distribution which is one of the larger jobs.

The cron is configured in the Scheduled jobs function and is called Notification. In terms of the cron timings, the imc Learning Suite uses a Quartz cron format that allows scheduling by seconds, minutes, hours, day of month, month, days of week and year. imc recommends the Notification cron be configured to process between 7am to 9am each day; this is after other important scheduled jobs have completed and before users start their work day.

If the Scheduled jobs menu is not available, it might be required for a System administrator to configure access rights or create the menu in the Navigation function.

    Is one of the most commonly used notifications as it can notify all users (Participant, Supervisor, Admin) involved in a Learning path of just about any change to settings and meta tag values.


Summary

Notifications are an important function to keep users informed of important various training related events and changes. It’s recommended that System administrators check the standard notifications to activate and update as required. Where desired notifications do not exist, imc can often custom develop as a service.
