Symptom
Users are registered for a scheduled offering, but are not receiving calendar reminders (Vcal alarms) in the registration notification.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning - All Supported Versions
Reproducing the Issue
- Enroll a student to a scheduled offering.
- Ensure that the scheduled offering is configured to send a notification to the student, once enrolled.
- After receiving the notification, open the calendar attachment.
- There is no reminder set in the calendar.
Cause
The notification template is not configured to include the reminder.
Resolution
- Access the system notification templates via System Admin > Configuration > Notification Templates.
- Click the edit icon on the default template called SystemEnrollmentNotification (or determine which custom template is used in place of the default).
- Scroll to the VCAL section of the template.
- At the bottom, ensure that the segment of code for VALARM is there.
- If not, edit the text to include the code for the VALARM as shown below.
