Users to notify
On the Create Event you can choose who to notify when this event occurs. You can either pick specific users, or you can use filters so the the user/s notified are relevant to that particular instance of an event.
The filter options available will change depending on the type of event being created.
Specific Users
To notify a specific user, or list of users first have Specific Users chosen for the Recipients.
Then using the search field under the right-hand column, find users and move them to the left column using the arrow buttons
Using Filters
First, choose Using Filters for the Recipients, then select one of the available filters. Some are basic and have no further options (User, User's manager), and some can be further defined.
In the example below we have used the User Filters which become available once we have selected Users enrolled in the course to specify that we only want to notify the teachers of that course, not everyone enrolled in that course.
Notification time
Some notifications can be offset to before or after the event occurs.
To create an offset set a number and choose days, weeks, months or years then choose whether that is before or after the event.
