Understanding Notifications

Notifications are messages that the system sends to learners and instructors to provide them with reminders or alert them to changes to aspects of the system that might affect them. This overview of notifications discusses:

Types of Notifications

PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management enables you to send:

Notification Templates

Notification templates define the content of the notifications that the system sends. PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management includes a variety of delivered notification templates and enables you to create new ones.

Notification Events

Notification events define the circumstances under which the system triggers the generation of notifications. Each notification event comprises one or more event actions. An event action defines the recipient, learning environment, and template for the notification that is triggered by the notification event. The one to many relationship between notification events and event actions makes it possible to generate multiple notifications from one event.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning management enables you to modify, activate, and inactivate the notification events delivered with the system. In addition, it enables you to configure certain options relevant to the event.

Ad Hoc Notifications

PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management enables you to generate ad hoc notifications in addition to the ones you generate in batch and through real time transactions. You can generate specific ad hoc notifications for classes and programs, or you can generate generic ad hoc notifications.
