Resolution

The resolution is to add a valid e-mail id for the admin account in Learning. Once this is done, the admin will be able to Send a preview e-mail for the edited template through the New Notification Editor.

  1. Access Learning administration >
  2. Navigate to System Administration >
  3. Security >
  4. Administrators >
  5. Search for the admin in question (yourself) and click the edit icon (little pencil) >
  6. Find and fill the e-mail field.
