Activity Scheduler Tip: Notifications Best Practices

AS tip

Notify your staff, parents,workers, officials, assigners, and opponents.

When you edit a published Team Schedule event, the changes are not automatically reflected on your opponent’s calendar. Therefore, they need to be notified, as well as everyone involved in the game.

Home events

If you reschedule, cancel, or edit an event on the Team Schedules module, make sure you send the notification to the people involved, including your opponents. You can do this on the notification screen after editing the event.

Away events

Always monitor your notifications. You can create a filter in your inbox for them.
If the home school makes a change to an event, you will need to make that change from your end as well.

The email notification will look like this whenever an event is edited:

Go to your calendar and make all the necessary changes. Remember to send notifications of these changes so your audience is also informed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You may want to check with your IT staff and make sure the following email addresses are whitelisted on your end:

  • notifications@asmail.rschooltoday.com
  • notifications@rschooltoday.com
  • support@rschooltoday.com
  • notifications@mail-d.rschooltoday.net  (For FS notifications)
  • support@dwebsite.com
  • notifyme@rschooltoday.com
  • notifications@mail-as.rschooltoday.net
  • notifyme@sender.rschooltoday.net
  • info@rschooltoday.net

 

Conference and Co-op games

Conference games get shared with your opponents’ calendars. Hence, changes made by the home team will be reflected on the opponent’s schedule. The same applies if you co-op with a school within your Conference. When one of the co-op teams enters the schedule, this schedule will be reflected for the other members as well. 

In order to view conference games in your Team Schedules module, you will need to enable them by clicking on the << Change: Activity/Gender/Level/Season link (top left corner):

and selecting “I want the games I set as Conference to write to those Conference Schools.” 

Set Up Email Notifications that Apply to All Schedules

Administrators can be set to receive email notifications changes in Conference, Team Schedules, and School Only events.

Note: Check off the box for “Don’t notify me If I made a Change” if you do not wish to receive notifications for the events you edit.

 

Set-Up Email Reminder Notices

In Set-Up Email Reminder Notices, Administrators can enable the option to send email reminder notices to the opposing ADs, officials, and game workers. They can also set the day and time to send such notifications.
