Notification Recipients

Most notification recipients receive messages according to their role (e.g., Care Coordinators and Service Providers receive messages related to their students). However, your school may want to specify other individuals who also should be receiving notifications, such as the SSC or principal.

 

NOTE: This function is for authorized users only. Most users will not see the Notification Recipients tab described below. For general users learn about the notifications on the About Notifications page.

 

To identify users, do the following:

  1. Select School Profile from the Navigation Menu.

  2. Search for the School.

  3. Select the Notification Recipients tab. NOTE: This tab is available for authorized users only.

  4. Open a Notification Type.

  5. A notification can have several related actions. Groups that already receive the notification are listed under each action. In the example below, the Care Coordinator and IEP Coordinator already receive the notifications. These groups are added by the DOE and cannot be edited by schools.

    However, in addition to the groups listed, you can add individuals by clicking Add for any one of the actions.

    In this example, there are two actions. One for a     5-day warning and another for a 15-day warning.

  6. After clicking Add, a list of all individuals within the school who have the functional right to view the specific type of notification will be displayed. Place a checkmark next to all individuals who should receive the notification. NOTE: If this list does not have the person you are looking for, please contact the eCSSS Help Desk.

  7. Click OK. You are back on the Notification Recipients window. The selected users are now listed under the action.

    Repeat for other actions     - Repeat the steps for other actions that are tied to the notification, if appropriate. There are typically at least 3 actions associated with every notification, including actions that warn users at various markers before a deadline and ones that remind them after a deadline has past.
     

  8. You can click x.jpg by the person's name to remove users from actions. Doing so will stop notifications from being sent to the deleted users, but you can add them back whenever appropriate.
     

  9. When you are done, click Save then Close. The users are now assigned. Do the same for other notifications on the Notification Recipient tab.
