PowerSchool ERP System Administration

Course Registration Email Tab

Use this tab to define the information that will appear in the email notifications that will be sent to participants when they register for a course. Each workflow type can have a notification set up with its own subject and body. You can use variables to customize the body of an email, for example, to identify the records that require action and specify other information relevant to the notification. The text entered in the Subject field will display as either the subject line of the email or description of the activity.

The Professional Development Course Registration Workflow consists of one workflow type. That type is a notification an action has occurred. Since the course registration allows for different actions to occur, workflow allows notifications to be set up for each type of action.

Menu Path:  System Administration > Administration > Profiles > Workflow Configuration Profile > click Course Registration under Professional Development > click the Course Registration Email tab
