FAQ

When coordinators add new staff or students, does Pulse automatically send them a welcome email?

The system doesn't send welcome emails automatically. However, newly added staff and students will start receiving the email reminders in prompts at the regularly scheduled times.

Do user roles have different functions and levels of access to information within Pulse?

Yes, user roles have their own functions and different levels of access to information within Pulse. In the following example, the bottom of the Adding person widget in Student Pulse shows the new staff member’s role (Pulse Director), what information this role gives them access to (view, download, and export data and see help requests), and the functions attached to the role (be reached out to for help or sign off on help requests).
