Notifying is the final step after uploading a file to Broadcast. Once you have published any changes to your documents, the Notify option becomes available. Clicking this allows you to send an email to each school in your LA that has access to the new document.
-
This could include all schools if you’ve uploaded a global file.
-
Or a subset of schools, depending on the file name and access permissions.
How Notification Works
Clicking the Notify button in the LA View does not immediately send emails. On the next page, you will be able to:
-
Select which schools to notify.
-
Preview the notification emails before sending.
Tip: To preview the email for a school, click the Preview Email icon next to the relevant school entry in the list.
Sending the Notification
-
Tick the checkbox next to each school you want to notify, or use the master checkbox at the top to select all schools.
-
In the right-hand panel, click Notify Schools.
-
Emails will be sent to all users at the selected schools who have the LA Documents permission in their Perspective Lite or Perspective accounts.
Once a school has been notified:
-
It is removed from the notification list.
-
A school cannot be re-notified for the same document.
-
The school will only reappear if a newer or updated document is uploaded.
Important Notes
-
Filters on this page only display notifications for documents uploaded in the last 7 days.
-
It is not possible to notify schools about files older than 7 days.
-
Schools automatically receive information about any new files from the previous 7 days via their Weekly Digest email.
