This article provides a guide on managing and triggering email and app test notifications in the GetCertified application.
Introduction
Notifications are an essential feature in the GetCertified platform, allowing users to stay updated on test-related activities. These notifications can be customized and tailored to suit the user’s preferences, ensuring that the information received is relevant and timely. In this article, we will explore how to access, customize, and manage these notifications for both email and application notifications. Understanding these features will help ensure a smooth and efficient testing experience for both candidates and administrators.
By using these notifications effectively, both candidates and administrators can stay up-to-date with crucial test activities, ensuring a smooth and efficient testing experience.
The notifications module
The notifications module in the GetCertified application allows users to manage and customize the notifications that are sent by the system. These notifications are essential to keeping both candidates and administrators informed about important test updates and events.
From the Settings and Customization tab, users can access the Notifications section, where they can manage notification settings. In this section, you can edit the content of notifications, enable or disable specific notifications, and adjust their settings to fit your preferences.
There are two main types of notifications available in the system:
- Application Notifications: Delivered within the GetCertified application, these notifications alert users to important events, such as test assignments or updates, while they are logged into the system.
- Email Notifications: These notifications are sent via email to users, ensuring they stay informed about any relevant changes or updates related to their tests, even when they are not actively logged into the system.
Both types of notifications can be easily customized and managed from the Notifications tab. Users can choose which notifications they want to receive, when to receive them, and what content is included, creating a more personalized experience tailored to individual needs.
Editing Notifications
To edit your notifications, go to the Notifications tab in the system settings and select the Edit button next to the notification you wish to customize. Here, you can modify the text, enable/disable specific notifications, and personalize them to better suit your needs.
After accessing the Notifications section, you will be able to customize each notification, including whether it is enabled or disabled and the content of the notification itself.
Users can easily enable or disable specific notifications and adjust their settings to fit their individual preferences, ensuring a personalized and streamlined experience
The test published notification
The Test published notification is an essential feature in the GetCertified application. This notification is triggered whenever a user is assigned to a test. It ensures that both candidates and administrators are informed when a test has been made available to them.
Whenever a test is published and a user is assigned to it, both in-app and email notifications are sent to the candidate. This helps ensure that the candidate is aware of the test’s availability and can take necessary actions, such as starting the test or reviewing instructions.
Customizing the Test Published Notification
You can customize the Test published notification to fit your specific needs. This customization allows you to change the text of the notification, add variables such as time stamps or the sender’s name, and adjust other content as needed.
To customize the notification, follow these steps:
- Go to the Settings and Customization tab in the system settings.
- Select the Notifications section.
- Find the Test published notification and click the Edit button next to it.
- Modify the notification content, such as the message text and any variables you want to include.
- Save your changes to finalize the customization.
By customizing the Test published notification, you can make it more relevant and specific to your organization’s needs, whether it’s adjusting the tone, adding important details, or including links to additional resources.
Sending the Notification
Once the notification is customized, it will automatically be sent to users who are assigned to a test. This ensures that candidates will receive timely notifications about the availability of their tests. Additionally, you can choose to enable or disable this notification at any time based on your preferences.
The test-published notification is an excellent way to keep your candidates informed about important test updates and ensures a smooth testing experience for both administrators and users.
Show the Candidate’s Perspective
From the candidate’s perspective, receiving the Test published notification is a crucial step in staying informed about their testing schedule. When a candidate is assigned to a test, they will receive both an in-app notification and an email notification, depending on their settings. This ensures that they are aware of the test availability, even if they are not actively logged into the system.
In-App Notification
The in-app notification will appear within the GetCertified application. The candidate will see a pop-up notification or a message in their notifications area informing them that a test has been published. The message will typically contain details such as the test name, the date it was published, and any necessary instructions.
Email Notification
Along with the in-app notification, the candidate will also receive an email notification. This ensures that the candidate is informed even if they are not currently logged into the GetCertified application. The email will include similar information to the in-app notification, such as the test name, publishing date, and any necessary instructions for taking the test.
What the Candidate Can Do
Once the candidate receives the notification, they can take action by clicking on the notification to access the test, view further instructions, or prepare for the exam. The notification provides clear guidance on the next steps, such as starting the test or reviewing materials before the test begins. Candidates can also configure their own notification preferences, including the types of notifications they wish to receive (application or email) and the content of those notifications.
By ensuring that candidates receive timely and relevant notifications, the GetCertified application helps streamline the test-taking process and keeps candidates well-informed about their testing schedules and any updates.
