There are two notification templates that relate to the supervisor of an assessment—Supervisor assigned and Supervisor unassigned. Both notifications are enabled by default. 

 

Supervisor assigned

Description

This notification will inform users that they've been assigned as a supervisor for a specific assessment.

 

What triggers the notification?

The Supervisor assigned notification is triggered:

• When a course or catalog admin assigns a user as a supervisor of an assessment when creating or editing this assessment.
• When a course or catalog admin selects the Line Manager role as a supervisor of an assessment when creating or editing this assessment. In this case, the notification is sent to the user who has the line manager role, and it's sent only once - when any of the direct reports of this line manager is enrolled in the course that has this assessment. The job runs once an hour.
• When there is a change in line manager. The new line manager receives the Supervisor assigned notification, but only if the new line manager has no other direct reports who are already enrolled in the course with this assessment.
