Reviewer / Administrator E-mail Notification Preferences

Administrators (reviewers) in simpldiscipline have the ability to customize their notification preferences to suit their specific needs. This guide will help you understand and configure these preferences effectively.

General Notification Preferences:

On the notification preferences page, you'll find several options. For the first two preferences, it's generally recommended for school administrators to turn them off:

1. Receive Email Notifications When I Submit an Incident:
   If enabled, this option will send you an email every time you submit an incident into the system. To avoid excessive emails, consider turning this option off.

2. Receive Email Notifications When Incidents I Submit Are Updated:
   This option triggers an email notification whenever you make updates to an incident you have previously submitted. To reduce inbox clutter, it may be advisable to turn this setting off as well.
   

3. Display Name: Your name is automatically collected from your school's student information system. You can customize the name that appears on notification letters and parent communication here, if desired.

Reviewer Incident Notification Preferences:

Streamlined Access to the approval Page for Reviewers: Users with the Reviewer role can now be automatically redirected to the approval page immediately after submitting a discipline incident, eliminating the need to click additional buttons. This setting is enabled by default for all users with the Reviewer role but can be manually turned off if preferred

Notification When an Incident is Approved by an Administrator: Users with elevated roles can now opt to receive an email notification whenever a new discipline incident has been approved. This feature is particularly useful for support personnel, such as secretaries who may be responsible for sending discipline letters on behalf of an administrator. By default, this notification is turned off.

In the reviewer incident preferences section, you can customize discipline incident email notifications for your assigned locations. This section allows you to fine-tune notifications based on specific criteria:

1. Grade Level Notifications
   To receive notifications for students in a specific grade level, toggle on this setting and select the grade levels you want to monitor.

2. Last Name Range Notifications:
   If you prefer to receive notifications for students within a specific last name range, you can configure this by selecting the starting and ending letters of the range. For more specific ranges (e.g., A-Be, Bi-G), type the range in the dropdown search box and select it from the menu. You can define a range up to five characters in each dropdown.
   
   
   

Note: You can choose to use either the grade level or last name range settings, or both. If you want to receive email notifications for incidents involving students in a specific grade level and within a specific last name range, configure both settings accordingly.

Minor Infraction & Positive Referral Notification Preferences:
In addition to standard incident notifications, you can independently configure minor infraction and positive referral notifications for your assigned locations. These settings work similarly to standard notification preferences but are specifically tailored for minors and positives. Administrators can toggle this feature on or off and customize the criteria for receiving these notifications.
