Seminar booking reminder - Make days before configurable

We are using the Seminar booking reminder, but 2 days before start is to short for our customers.

Could this be made configurable, for example in the Seminar administration (Site administration > Seminars) and then make it possible to overrule this setting at seminar level.

Currently we have changed it at database level, but that is not the most preferred way.


Best regards,

Danny

Hi Danny

You should be able to add a new notification under seminar administration that sends the notification at the interval required.

That's the workaround that we've used, but I agree that it would make a lot more sense to be able to configure the delay at site and notification level rather than having to disable all of the existing notifications and create new custom ones.

Hi Graig,

Thanks for the feedback.
We've found that option indeed, but for us it not a workable solution.

We have connected our system to another application, which contains1.000+ courses (from training institutes all over the Netherlands and some from abroad)  and even more seminars.
This application synchronises with Totara and creates the courses and corresponding seminars.

To create and maintain these notifications manually is not an option for us.

That's why I send out this enhancement request.


Best regards,

Danny
