The main objective of this feature is to facilitate the client to send reminder emails to the test takers who were invited to take the test but haven’t even registered for the test. Important changes that have been done are:
- Introduction of “Test Email”. The user has to mandatorily send a test email before sending the actual reminders once any changes have been made in the email template.
- Maintaining history of when any reminder email(s) sent to any test taker. Changes are done both in the User interface and the Excel downloaded from Yet to start tab.
Now any test taker in the Yet to Start status on the results page, can be sent a reminder. The maximum limit for now is 4. That means any test taker can be sent 4 reminder emails at max with one invitation email already sent.
Note: Even if the reminder email is not delivered/bounced due to the recipient test taker, it would still be counted as an attempt
Log history of reminders sent would also be available to keep track of which invited test taker has been sent how many reminder emails.
Excel getting downloaded for the Yet to Start test takers status, the date of reminder emails sent would be have addition data.
