Overview

You can send learners a recurring reminder about required reading documents they still haven't read. This is switched on with the Unread documents reminder option in your weekly automated emails.

This is the ongoing reminder. Each week the system checks who still has unconfirmed required reading and emails them, so learners keep getting nudged until they read it.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. In the General section, click Messaging.

  3. In the Automated emails section, scroll down to the Weekly reminders section and find Unread documents reminder.

  4. Tick Include reminders of unread required reading weekly summary email. (To stop the reminders, clear this box instead.)

  5. Click Save changes.
