How do I setup notification recipient types for the site?
Turn on editing mode.
Click here to learn how.
Add the "joule notifications" block to the course, if you have not already.
Choose "joule Notifications" from the list.
Navigate to the joule Notification block.
Click the "Recipients" link in order to review.
First, an administrator should determine the kind of recipient types available on the site (1).
Next, the administrator should check to see whether the recipients can be added (2).
Click the "Recipient types" link.
From here, you'll see existing types, or be able to add new types. This is a critical step in determining what constituents should receive notification information from alerts. Note: an instructor may create notifications that simply go to the student; however, this system allows different constituents to be added to more critical alerts.
Create a new type by clicking on the button (1).
Edit a type by clicking on the "edit" icon (2).
Delete a type by clicking on the "delete" icon (3).
Click the "Recipients" tab to see the recipient contact list.
In this case, the administrator has added an advisor (1) and a tutor (2) to her notification list. These contacts can be edited or deleted using the icons in the Action category.
Note: an administrator will see all of the recipients for the site and can filter these with the Recipient owner menu (3).
A teacher will see all of the recipients within her class and can filter these with the Recipient owner menu (3).
A student will only see his own recipients (and won't see a filter on this page).
Click the "Create new recipient" link to add a new contact.
You may add name email, and an identifying note about each recipient.
