K.Ermit Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I'd like to know when my students send me a message on the assignment wall, without having to keep checking markbook. Is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 You can be notified by email for all activity to do with Assignments. To do so, open the Profile menu in the FrogBar and select My Preferences. Within the Notifications open here, you can set Assignments to email you. This will send emails when students ask questions via the wall, upload and hand in work. You can find out more about My Preferences from this video: https://www.frogeducation.com/community/training/gettingstarted/teachers/preferences Email Rules I appreciate setting notifications to email you about anything to do with Assignments could produce a lot of emails. We are looking at possible development around this, but in the meantime, you can set Rules in Outlook based on email content. Web Portal From the Outlook.office.com web page, click on the Cog in the top blue bar (on the right-hand side) Search for Rules Select Inbox Rules Click + Add New Rule Set a From condition to be noreply@frogmailer.com (this may be different depending on your school's Frog server) Add another condition Choose Subject includes In the box type: [Assignments] In Add an Action, set the dropdown to Mark as read In Add an exception (optional), select Message body includes Type: You have received a message Uncheck Stop processing more rules Click Save This will mark all Assignment emails as read, unless they are generated by a student leaving a message on an assignment wall. Outlook program The email program is a different layout, but the Rules Wizard has the same options as above. You can find this from the File menu called Rules and Alerts. There is more about the Rules Wizard on Microsoft's website: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/manage-email-messages-by-using-rules-c24f5dea-9465-4df4-ad17-a50704d66c59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pconkie Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 @Graham Quince how do you enable the notifications section of the my preferences app in the first place? I have had a look in the group policy section and all of the relevant apis seem to be enabled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked with an admin account and I can see My Preferences in the Profile menu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that non of the teachers can see this at all (they don't even see the notifications tab (no third step to click). This includes my teacher account (rather than my admin account). Push notifications - they work, do they? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you';re seeing that column - I'll create a ticket for you to get that corrected. I see that for your Teaching account, Manage Notification Preferences has been deactivated by the settings in the FrogCode group. If you email me some of your non=teacher names I can check their accounts using. The Troubleshoot tab in Groups and Policies is really handy for this.

Graham Quince Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Quick update - it looks like Manage Push Notifications is also a preference in Groups and Policies and was activated for the Admin profile. I've turned it off for now as I am certain configuring these changes nothing. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the "plumbing" was never put in for this - so while you can see the switches there's no connections to anything. In terms of making this work it would be a whole project in itself.

Should it be instant? No - to prevent spamming and constant emailing, there is a little delay - I can't remember if it's 5, 15 or 45 minutes.
