Notification Types
Notifications are created when certain events occur. You may also create a notification for any student at any time. Notifications are grouped by their Notification Type. Each Notification Type might have individualized options for how the student may be notified when some event has occurred. For example, you may manually create a Notification for a student that indicates they should see their advisor or consultant the next time they come to the center. This notification may be linked to a Notification Type called "See Advisor" and this Notification Type might have the preference chosen to Send Email which means as soon as the notification is created, an email will be sent to the student. You may create as many notifications for as many students as you need. Each notification will be linked to a notification type. You may also create as many notification types as you need to handle the various ways that you would like to notify the student when something has occurred. Note: you may also send notifications to other persons in your database. For example, a notification may be sent to a consultant when some event has occurred with one of their students. You have full flexibility for configuring notifications and notification types.
