Evisense User Settings

Feed Display Options

These options allow you to customise what posts you see when you open Evisense.

Default Post Types

Evisense has lots of different post types. Your school may use Evisense for Newsletters, Events etc., but this might not be relevant to show in your feed by default. You can choose what post types you want to see in the feed when Evisense opens. You can use the filter to view any post type, it will reset to the default setting the next time you open Evisense.

Creating Post Options

These options are used when creating posts, it allows you to customise the experience to meet your needs.

Default Post Type

The Add New button is quick and easy to use, it makes sense that you can set the post you use the most as the default post type. Setting the default post type decides the action taken when you click Add New. You can always choose a different post type by using the down arrow next to Add New.

Default Post Privacy

Your school has set several options around privacy and post creation. The options available to you are limited by your school. You may not be able to change these values. You can always adjust the privacy when creating or editing a post.

For some post types it makes sense to share with parents by default, but other posts might be more relevant to school staff. Before you set defaults to share with parents, think about the relevance of the post to parents.

Notifications

These options are linked to keeping you up to date with what is going on in Evisense. Users are notified when someone likes a post they created, comments on a post they created or responds to a comment they added. If you are a parent, you will be notified any time you child is tagged in a post you have access to.

You will see notifications within Evisense, you will receive email notifications and if you use the Evisense app, you will also receive push notifications.

Email Notifications

By default, you will receive email notifications alongside the notifications within Evisense. If you do not want to receive the email notifications, turn this option off. If you don’t use the Evisense app, email notifications will keep you up to date with what is going on without having to open Evisense. If you use the app, you will receive push notifications on your device, you might prefer the push notifications instead of emails.

Blocked Users

Evisense has the ability to stop a user from seeing content from another user. Every user has the ability to block another user. This means they will no longer see that user’s posts or comments or replies from other users on the blocked user’s posts or comments. Users can also unblock a user they have blocked.
