Notifications

Notifications keeps students, instructors, and administrators informed about course activity in real time. Each event, from a new enrollment to an upcoming assignment deadline, can be delivered on-site and as a push notification, and every event can be turned on or off individually for each role.

✅ With Notifications, you can:

• Choose how notifications open on desktop: as a Popup or a Drawer

• Turn On Site and Push delivery on or off separately for each event

• Manage notifications for Students, Instructors, and Administrators as three independent groups

• Enable or disable an entire role's notifications at once with Enable all / Disable all

• Let students and instructors check their notifications from a bell icon, with All and Unread tabs and a Mark all read action

Notifications addon can be activated from WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Pro Addons page:

Once enabled, students and instructors see a Notifications tab in their profile. A badge on the icon shows the number of unread notifications.

You can reach it from the dropdown menu of the User Profile:

Clicking Notifications opens a dropdown/sidebar with:

• All and Unread tabs to filter the list

• A Mark all read button to clear the unread count in one click

• Each notification showing its title, a short description, the related course, and how long ago it happened

If there is nothing new, the dropdown simply shows "No notifications to show."

Addon Settings

Notification settings are managed from MS LMS > Settings > Notifications tab:

Desktop Notifications View

At the top of the settings page, choose how notifications open for users on desktop:

• Popup, a floating window

• Drawer, a panel that slides in from the side

There is also a Notifications Elementor widget, designed to insert a Notifications button in the header or anywhere you want.

Enabling Events per Role

Below the display setting, events are grouped into three sections: Student, Instructor, and Administrator. Each event has its own On Site and Push checkboxes, so a notification can be delivered through one channel, both, or neither.

Use Enable all or Disable all at the top of a section to toggle every event in that role at once, instead of checking each one individually.
