What each section covers

Section What it covers
Training Assignments, completions, failures, expiring courses and certificates, feedback, and survey responses.
Forum Likes, comments, replies, and mentions on your posts and comments.
Task Tasks assigned to you, reviewer and viewer updates, comments, status changes, and overdue tasks.
Reporting Manager When you are assigned or removed as a reporting manager, and summaries of your reportees' trainings. Learners see when a reporting manager is assigned to them or removed.
Team Manager Summaries of your team members' trainings.
Mentorship Enrollments, mentor requests, notes, meetings, feedback, and milestones.

The options you see depend on your role. For example, learners see fewer Training options and do not see the Team Manager section.

Note: Organization-wide notification defaults, such as turning a notification off for every user, are managed by Auzmor Support. Contact Auzmor Support to request a change.

Set how often manager summaries arrive

Reporting managers and team managers can receive summaries about reportees or team members whose trainings are overdue, newly assigned, or completed. Each of these rows has a frequency list. Choose Weekly on Monday, Weekly on Wednesday, Every Month on first day, Every Quarter on first day, or the annual option, and then click Save. The default is Weekly on Monday.

Common questions

Why do I see fewer notification options than my admin?

The options depend on your role. Learners, managers, and admins each see the notifications that apply to them.

Can I turn off a notification for my whole organization?

Not from your own notification settings. Those settings apply only to you. Contact Auzmor Support to change defaults for the organization.

Which failure notifications are on by default?

Admins are notified once when a learner fails a course, learning path, or event, in the app and by email. The notification for each failed assessment attempt is off by default.
