You have a number of email options related to a test. You can have users emailed to let them know a test is available to be taken. You can alert a test administrator once a test has begun or been purchased. And, you can send emails after a test has been completed.
For the most part, email options are controlled at the test level so you can configure them differently from test to test.
Assigning Content
You can send emails to individual users to assign them content from that user's details page. Simply click on the "Send Email" button and follow the instructions.
Notifying A Test Admin
To send a notification when a test has been started or purchased, navigate to the test you wish to configure and go to Options > Before Taking Options > Email Start Taking Notice Options.
After A Test
After a test has been completed, notifications can be sent to a test administrator as well as the test taker. You can access these setting by navigating to the test you wish to configure and going to Options > Scoring and Results then scrolling down to the email options below.
