In addition to the notifications users can customize with their Notification Preferences, users can also subscribe to receive notifications on specific PL Pages or Discussions. This article will explain how to subscribe to notifications for the following:
- Dashboard Discussions & News Feed Posts
- PL Discussion Pages
- PL Reflection Pages (Managers Only)
- SI Discussions
Dashboard Discussions & News Feed Posts
By default, users do not receive in-platform or email notifications about comments being made on Dashboard Discussions or posts in the News Feed. Users will receive a notification email when a new discussion is created if the user starting the discussion selects this option.
All users can manually subscribe to receive notifications by opening the comments popup and checking the subscription box, as shown above. Once subscribed, the user will receive both in-platform (in the Notifications Flag Dropdown) and email notifications when new comments are added. The user posting the discussion has the option to subscribe when posting, or later when commenting.
Users can manually unsubscribe from these notifications at any time by un-checking the subscription box. Unsubscribing will stop notifications both in the platform and via email for that discussion.
PL Discussion Pages
By default, users do not receive in-platform or email notifications about comments being made on PL Discussion Pages unless they manually subscribe by checking the box at the bottom of the page, shown un-checked above.
Users will only receive notifications about comments being added to the Discussion Tab in which they are subscribed. For instance, if the user subscribes to a discussion in one selected School in the School Tab, they will only receive notifications when comments are added in that School Discussion. They will not receive notifications for comments being added to another School, Cohort, or in the My District or All District Tabs.
Once subscribed, the user will receive both in-platform (in the Notifications Flag Dropdown) and email notifications when new comments are added.
Users can manually unsubscribe from these notifications at any time by un-checking the subscription box. Unsubscribing will stop notifications both in the platform and via email for that discussion.
PL Reflection Pages
By default, users receive in-platform or email notifications about comments being made on PL Reflection Pages based on their General Notification Preferences, but users with access to the Coaching View can also manually subscribe on a per-user basis by following the process below.
- A PL Reflection Page is marked as Ready for Review.
- The appropriate users receive an in-platform notification (and an email notification depending on their School & Cohort Notification Preferences).
- The user can review the page via the Coaching View. If they make a comment to provide feedback, they are automatically subscribed to receive notifications if new comments are added.
- If the user does not make a feedback comment, they still have the option to subscribe to receive notifications if new comments are made on the page by checking the subscription box shown above.
Once subscribed, the user will receive both in-platform (in the Notifications Flag Dropdown) and email notifications when new comments are added. Note that these notifications apply only to when new comments are added to the page of the user that was being reviewed in the Coaching View, allowing notifications to be customized on a per-user basis.
Users can also manually unsubscribe from these notifications by un-checking the subscription box. Once un-checked, the user will not be automatically re-subscribed if they continue to comment on the page.
SI Discussions
By default, users do not receive in-platform or email notifications about comments being made on SI Discussions. Relevant users will receive a notification email when a new discussion is created if the user starting the discussion selects this option.
All users with access to the SI can manually subscribe to receive notifications by opening the comments popup and checking the subscription box, as shown above. Once subscribed, the user will receive both in-platform (in the Notifications Flag Dropdown) and email notifications when new comments are added. The user posting the discussion has the option to subscribe when posting, or later when commenting.
Users can manually unsubscribe from these notifications at any time by un-checking the subscription box. Unsubscribing will stop notifications both in the platform and via email for that discussion.
