Customising your notifications

By default, as a user, you will only get notifications if someone responds or likes one of your posts.

You can choose which notifications you would like to receive from Evisense and set timings for them (e.g. within working hours only). Outside of the specified days and hours, notifications are silenced, so teachers’ downtime remains undisturbed. Your Administrator can set notification rules at a school level, but each user can also make their own adjustments.

These options are linked to keeping you up to date with what is going on in Evisense. Users are notified when someone likes a post they created, comments on a post they created or responds to a comment they added. If you are a parent, you will be notified any time you child is tagged in a post you have access to.

You will see notifications within Evisense, you will receive email notifications and if you use the Evisense app, you will also receive push notifications.

Email Notifications

By default, you will receive email notifications alongside the notifications within Evisense. If you do not want to receive the email notifications, turn this option off. If you don’t use the Evisense app, email notifications will keep you up to date with what is going on without having to open Evisense. If you use the app, you will receive push notifications on your device, you might prefer the push notifications instead of emails.

Notification Time Restrictions (Users and External Users only)

Schools can set notification rules to limit when school users and external users receive notifications. Outside of the specified days and hours, notifications via email and push notifications are silenced. You will see the notifications if you open Evisense. You can set your own custom notification rules that supersede the rules set by your school.

Additional Notifications (Users only)

As well as receiving notifications for someone liking or replying to a post or comment you created, you can also choose to be notified for other posts. You may want to be notified when someone adds a home school diary update for your class so that you can keep up to date with what is going on.

Setting up additional notifications is a really useful feature that keeps you up to date in the areas that are important to you. You might be the SENCO and want to keep up to date with the home school diaries for your SEN pupils. You might have children that work with a therapist and want to be notified of any learning opportunities the therapist has shared.
