Configuring subprogram notifications
Who is this article for?
Administrators responsible for subprogram management.
Administrator role is required.
Subprogram-level notifications cascade down to all frameworks and calendar events under that subprogram. This is useful for establishing standard reminders without having to configure each event individually.
This article shows you how to set these notifications up.
1. Accessing notifications
To access notification settings:
- Go to the Program Builder.
- Switch to the Sub Program tab.
- Click Notifications (Bell icon).
You will be taken to a list of all notifications currently set up for the selected subprogram.
Updates at the subprogram level automatically apply to all frameworks and events beneath it. Review existing notifications to avoid duplicate reminders.
Subprogram notifications serve as the default. Framework- or event-level notifications can supplement or override these settings if needed.
2. Configuring notifications
You can configure multiple notifications per subprogram for layered reminders.
Example
Email notification sent out 14 days before the due date.
SMS notification sent out two days before the due date.
Email notification sent out two days after the due date to follow-up on overdue tasks.
