Add student name and assessment name to online assessment notification email workflows
Completed
It would be huge if the workflow for online assessments allowed you to add the student name and assessment name to the notification email, or if the workflows worked with the online assessment items in templates properly.
All other LMS systems that we have used were able to include the student name and assessment name in the notification email.
Currently the workflows for 'handle assessment status change' only provide you with the options to insert dynamic fields for contact ID or assessment ID etc.
It doesn't allow you to insert Student Name or the name of the assessment item, so when a trainer receives the notification that an assessment has been submitted for marking they have no way to differentiate one student or assessment from another.
The only way I have found to include a name is creating a User task which then ads the User owner name to the email but that creates a task in the system. We have 4 locations, each with about 10 students every 8 days, completing 29 assessments, so that is 1,160 tasks that the trainers would need to mark off as complete.

Hi Mark, this is wonderful news, made my month!!
We would like to suggest that the assessment instance name be included as a field that can be included on the notification to assessors. Usually, the instance name reflects the workshop or class the enrolment is linked to which is helpful for sorting submissions. This would allow our assessors to see if the student is submitting an assessment ahead of attending their workshop date or after.
Another suggestion is to include the score/percentage for assessments that include auto marking. So an assessor could see what the student's score is upon submission, it looks like you have included the score in the student notification you included, so maybe it is an easy one to include for assessors too.
Add the ability to include the assigned assessor name. It doesn't look like you are specifically planning an email notification for students to let them know their submission was successful but this is something we send in the system. We think being able to add the name of the assigned assessor to the template would be a good way to let the student know who is assigned to be marking their submission.
We also agree on Not Yet Satisfactory, this wording is more aligned with unit outcomes rather than 'unsatisfactory' or 'failed'.
Would there also be an option in the system to send a notification to students when the assigned assessor is changed, some of the other LMS systems have this kind of notification so it could be useful to look at for aXcelerate too.
