Campus Notifications

Requisition is Shipped (default setting: unchecked) - If checked, sends a notification email to the defined campus contact the first time a campus requisition is placed in the status of “In Transit.”

Requisition is In Transit (default setting: unchecked) - If checked, sends a reminder notification email to the defined campus contact after the identified number of days have passed (set up by the district level) while a campus requisition has remained in the status of “In Transit.”

For example, suppose the district turned on this email notification reminder and set 4 days as the trigger to email the campus if the campus requisition is not received in Instructional Materials Management. A campus requisition is placed “In Transit” on Monday. Thursday (4 days later), the defined campus contact receives the email notification informing them the campus requisition is the status of “In Transit.” The email will be sent to the defined campus contact every 4 days until the campus requisition is received within Instructional Materials Management.

Option Description
Adjustment is Posted (default setting: unchecked) If checked, sends a notification email to the defined campus contact the first time an item is posted within a campus adjustment.
Return Surplus Call Tag Issued (default setting: unchecked) If checked, sends a notification email to the defined campus contact when a "Return Surplus" campus adjustment is placed in the status of “Call Tag.”
Transfer is Ticketed (default setting: unchecked) If checked, sends a notification email to the defined campus contact when a campus-to-campus transfer is placed in the status of “Ticketed.” This is sent to the sending campus and the receiving campus.
Transfer is Received (default setting: unchecked) If checked, sends a notification email to the defined campus contact when a campus-to-campus transfer is placed in the status of “Received.” This is sent to the sending campus and the receiving campus.

District Notifications
