Scheduling Communications

Invitation Scheduling

Invitation emails get sent to learners at the start of an assignment. For Quick Assignments, that means all learners will receive it on the Assignment Start Date while learners part of an Automated Assignments will receive it when they are added to the assignment.

When creating an assignment, go to the “Scheduling” section to select the invitation template you want to use and set the date the assignment starts (when the invitations are sent). There is also the option to turn off invitations from being sent from Foundry (see below for details).

Reminder Scheduling

By default, assignment reminders will go out at the following times:

• Before due date: Every other week on Monday.
• After due date: Every week on Monday.

You can also customize when reminders go out when you create an Assignment. To customize reminders, complete the following steps:

1. Select the template you want to use
2. Schedule the cadence before the due date and the cadence for after the due date – these can be different
3. Administrators can also disable reminders be sent at all
4. Learners who complete all learning activities in an assignment will not receive any reminders
