How to Create and Edit Notifications

How to Create and Edit Notifications

Idea
Overview

Notifications in the Student Management System (SMS) typically involve setting up alerts or messages to inform users about important events, updates, deadlines, or other relevant information. These notifications ensure that users stay informed and can take timely action, thereby improving engagement, compliance, and overall system efficiency.

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to create and edit these notifications.

Idea
It is recommended to utilise the SMS notifications function and disable the LMS counterpart if you are operating using both our LMS and SMS platforms.

Notes
Step Tutorial

1. From the sidebar menu, click Administration then Notifications.


2. The Notifications page displays all notifications that have been created. To create a new notification, click the New button.


3. In the Notification modal, fill out the following fields:

  1. Description – Enter the description for the notification.
  2. Start Date – Choose the start date from the date picker. This is the date when the notification will become available.
  3. End Date – Choose the end date from the date picker. This is the date when the notification will no longer be available.
  4. All Roles – Enable the toggle if the notification should be visible to all roles available in the system. Please note that enabling this toggle will disable (grey out) the Specific Roles field.
  5. Specific Roles – Select the role(s) for which the notification will be available.
  6. Status – Choose either Draft or Published. The notification will only be visible to the selected roles if is published.

Once done, click Save.


Info
NOTE:

  1. Published notifications can be viewed under the user’s Profile > Notifications tab. This tab will NOT be visible if no notifications are available for the user.

  1. Clicking the Do not show again button, located just below the opposite end of the notification’s description, will remove or hide the notification.

4. To edit or delete an existing notification, click the Action button for that notification. Then, click Edit to modify the fields and Delete to remove the notification.



And that’s how to create and edit notifications in the SMS!
