Notifications for upcoming due dates

To notify parents and guardians about their child's upcoming work, you can enable the visibility of the Update alerts icon in the Brightspace Parent & Guardian web application. When visible, this icon indicates there are notifications for upcoming assignments and quizzes that are due in the next two days.

This is the paper note and pencil icon used for notes.

Note: This functionality only impacts the web application. Turning the configuration variable on or off does not affect notifications in the Brightspace Pulse app.

When parents and guardians log in to the Brightspace Parent & Guardian web application, the student selector page displays the Update alerts icon, indicating there are upcoming assignments or quizzes for one or more students.

Parents and guardians select the Update alerts icon, and then one of the notifications from the list. This navigates to that student's dashboard, where the upcoming assignment or quiz is visible in the Work To Do widget.

Enable notifications in the Brightspace Parent & Guardian web application

To enable visibility of the icon in the Brightspace Parent & Guardian web application, turn on the d2l.Tools.ParentPortal.Nav.ShowNotifications configuration variable. The default value is off.
Ensure that parents and guardians are enrolled in the organization as a Parent and Guardian role; enrollment in the child’s courses is not required.
