The Group Email Templates are designed to give the Course Evaluations Manager a place to create a 'Template' messages that can be used repeatedly.  This function allows the CE Manager to customize the appearance and content of the message.  


To Add a New Group Email Template

  • Select 'Add New' from the list screen.
  • Select a 'Message Category' from the drop-down menu.
  • Message Categories include:
    • General Announcement
    • Invitation to Add Questions
    • Login Information
    • Results Invitation
    • Survey Announcement
    • Survey Reminder
  • Enter the 'Message List Name'.  This is the name that will appear in the default list to the manager.
  • Pick the 'From Email Address', from the drop-down option.
    NOTE: Use no-reply@courseval.net if hosted with Course Evaluations, in most cases. This email address is secure and should have been white-listed at your institution.
  • Enter the 'From Friendly Name'.  This is the name that will appear in the from field.  
  • Enter the 'Reply To Address', if it is different from the sender's e-mail address.

    • No Images - Removes all images from the e-mail.
  • Select the 'Display Options':
    • To include login information in the message, check this option and the message will contain the recipient's User Name, Password, and the URL to the Survey Site.
    • To link HTML images in message instead of embedding them, check this option if many recipients are likely to use a web browser to read their email.
    • To send messages with a "High Priority" indicator, check this option and the message will be shown with a high priority indicator in the user's email client when they are received.
