How do I schedule notifications?

The FCM Extension allows admins to schedule start and end dates for notifications. This article walks through how to use this feature.

1. Sign in to the Admin Dashboard and go to the Notifications tab.
2. Open the editor for the notification you want to edit. You can do this by creating a new notification, editing an existing notification, or copying an existing notification.
3. The modal type must be Custom to use this feature. Shep currently does not support scheduling for dynamic notifications (notifications that come from Sitata or WorldAware, for example). 
4. The Start and End date fields are towards the bottom of the editor.
5. Start date
   • If you schedule to start on a specific date, it will start at 00:00 on that date.
   • For example, I create a notification to start on March 1. It will start displaying to users on March 1 at 00:00.
6. End date
   • If you schedule to end on a specific date, it will end at 11:59 the day before.
   • For example, I create a notification to end on March 10. It will stop displaying to users on March 9 at 11:59 pm.
7. Times are based on user times.
8. You can use both Start and End dates together to schedule notifications for specific date ranges.
