Curriculum/Syllabus Email Notification Options

During implementation, you will be asked to select the email notification type you wish to use for the Curriculum and/or Syllabus Management Systems. You can choose to have one type of email notification set up for the system, or you can choose to have both set up for one system - this depends on how often you want the users to be notified of active proposals that require their attention.

The email notification messages are listed below along with a description of each type. Any text located in the between the $ symbols indicates proposal specific text. If "Link" is included between these symbols, it links out to the associated proposal. We can modify the messaging, but the change would effect all email notifications associated with that type.

Email notifications are only sent once per workflow state, per proposal. It is then up to the user to follow through with any actions required from the notification. A notification will not be sent again for the same proposal if left in the same workflow state unless both Instant and Scheduled emails are set up for the system. This can be accomplished upon request to our support team.

Instant: Email notification is sent out a few moments after a proposal moves from one step of the workflow to the next.

  • Submitter: The original submitter will receive an email notification when their proposal has moved to the next step of workflow, if a proposal is returned to them, or their proposal has been approved.
  • Reviewers: Users that are part of the approval process will receive an email notification when a proposal is ready for them to review or has been returned to them from a later step of workflow.

Scheduled: All relevant proposal information is provided on a weekly scheduled basis (ex. daily, Tues/Thurs, Mon/Wed/Fri).

  • An email is sent out on the designated day(s) as long as that user, reviewer, or committee has a proposal to review/approve.
  • If there are no proposals waiting at a step, the users associated with that step will not receive an email notification.
  • We do not have email reminders in the system, so this option can act as a reminder.
  • Submitter: Provides status (current step of workflow, returned to them for revision, or approved) of their proposal on designated day(s). Once the submitter gets the notification that their proposal was approved, they will no longer receive email notifications for that proposal.
  • Reviewers: On designated day(s), reviewers will receive a notification with a list of proposals that need to be reviewed or approved by their step in the workflow process.
