Manage Forum Notifications

Every user can set up notification preferences to control whether to receive email notifications and how to receive the notifications (eg: through the web, by email, or on a mobile device). The forum notification settings set up by the course editors will not override users’ notification preferences if these are set not to receive any notifications.

• Login to your CLE course: https://courses.ucsf.edu.
• On the CLE course page, click your name or user icon at the top right of your course page, and from the User drop-down menu, select Preferences.
• Your Preferences page will open.  

• On the Preferences page, under User account, click Forum preferences.

The Forum preferences page will open. 

• • No digest (single email per forum post): This is the default setting. You will receive one email per forum post.
  • Complete (daily email with full posts): You will receive one digest email per day containing the complete contents of each forum post.

Subjects (daily email with subjects only): You will receive one digest email per day containing just the subject of each forum post. 

On the Forum preferences page, from the Email digest type drop-down menu, select how the CLE will send notifications when you are following discussions. You have the following options:

• From the Forum auto-subscribe drop-down menu, select how you will follow discussion forums:
  • No: don't automatically subscribe me to forum discussions (default):  Recommended.
  • Yes: When I post, subscribe me to that forum: Not recommended; You will receive email notifications from any forum you contribute to.
• At the bottom of the page, click Save changes to finish making changes.
