Reminder settings when scheduling an exam

Reminders created for exams will be automatically applied at the time of scheduling exams in the Examination module. When scheduling an exam in the Examination module, click the Show reminder setting at the bottom.

The reminder options created in the Reminders module are displayed.

You can make changes if necessary. Click Advanced reminder setting to view and edit the reminder mode. If any changes are made, click the Save changes button.

If a reminder option appears disabled, it means that the reminder cannot be set for the exam. You will have to check the reminder settings in the Reminders module, or contact your portal Administrator.
