About the Email / Notifications Module

The Email / Notifications module consists of the following functions:

• Email
• Notifications
• Notification Categories

Note: The options you see depend upon the permissions set by your System Administrator.

Email

3sysACADEMIC includes an integrated email function which allows you to send messages to any individual known to the school. It also includes a more sophisticated 'related list' option which means you can send emails to people associated with selected pupils, e.g. form tutors or parents, without having to look up each individual's details and enter them manually. Emails are sent directly from 3sysACADEMIC's web server and use a generic 'from' email address that has been set up by the System Administrator. Emails can be sent via:

• The Email function (Communication > Email / Notifications > Email).
• The Pupils module.
• The Staff module.

For more information, see Using Email in 3sysACADEMIC.

Notifications and Notification Categories

Notifications can be used to remind individuals or groups of users about forthcoming events or appointments. For example, a notification could be used to call and remind attendees of an urgent staff meeting, or a teacher could use a notification to remind them when a pupil is on a final warning regarding homework.

Before notifications can be added to 3sysACADEMIC, notification categories must be created. Categories are used to identify and group specific notifications.

For more information, see Using Notifications and Configuring Notification Categories.

Note: Users MUST be logged in to receive notifications.
