Community Notifications & Reports
Overview
Keeping up with your Communities is easy — Learn Amp gives you notifications, emails, and reports to stay on top of all the activity that matters.
This guide covers all the notification and reporting features available for Communities.
Functionality Breakdown
Notification Types
Notification | Who Receives It | Delivery Method |
|---|---|---|
New comment on your post | Post author | In-app notification + email |
@Mention in a post (individual) | Mentioned user | In-app notification + email |
@Mention in a comment (individual) | Mentioned user | In-app notification + email |
@team mention in a post or comment | All active members of the mentioned team | In-app notification + email |
@here mention in a Social Feed post | All active members of the Community | In-app notification + email |
Join request submitted | Community managers | In-app notification |
Join request approved | Requesting user | In-app notification |

💡 Tip: @here and @team mentions use the same notification delivery as individual @mentions — each active member receives both an in-app notification and an email.

Understanding In-App Notifications
In-app notifications appear in the notification bell in the top navigation:
Click the bell icon to view recent notifications
Notifications are marked with a red dot when unread
Click a notification to go directly to the relevant content
When you have a lot of notifications, they're grouped by type to keep things manageable

Use filters to narrow down by date range, content type, or user
To access Team People Report:

Report Options
When viewing team reports, you have several options:
Option | What It Does |
|---|---|
Include sub-teams | Include activity from nested teams in the hierarchy |
Primary team members only | Only show users whose primary team is this community |
Date range | Filter to a specific time period |
Export to CSV | Download the report data for further analysis |
💡 Tip: Use the "Include sub-teams" option when you want to see aggregated data across an entire department or programme.
Team Activity Digest
The Team Activity Digest is a scheduled email that summarises activity across your managed teams.
What's Included
The digest includes:
Number of active users
Content completions
Tasks completed
New learning activity
Engagement metrics
Setting Your Digest Frequency
Go to your Email preferences in Settings
Find Team activity digest
Choose your preferred frequency:
Daily - Receive a summary every day
Weekly - Receive a summary every week
Monthly - Receive a summary once per month
Never - Disable the digest entirely
Save your changes
⚠️ Warning: The digest is only sent to users who manage at least one team. If you're not a manager, this setting won't apply.
Content Visibility to Communities
Content can be targeted specifically to communities, making it visible only to members.
How Content Targeting Works
When creating or editing content (Channels, Learnlists, etc.), you can set visibility to Selected teams:
Edit the content item
In the Visibility section, choose Selected
Search for and select the communities that should see this content
Optionally enable Visible to sub-teams to include nested communities
Visibility Options
Setting | Who Can See |
|---|---|
Entire company | All users in the company |
Selected | Only members of selected teams/communities |
Hidden | No one (draft or archived) |
💡 Tip: Use "Visible to sub-teams" when you want content to cascade down through a hierarchy—for example, making training visible to a department and all its sub-departments.
FAQs
Q: Why am I not receiving email notifications for comments?
Check your email preferences in Settings. The "Mention" setting controls whether you receive @mention emails. Also verify your email address is correct and check your spam folder.
Q: Does the Mention toggle in Settings apply to @team and @here notifications too?
Yes. The Mention notification toggle controls all mention types — individual @mentions, @team mentions, and @here mentions. Disabling it will turn off emails for all three.
Q: Can I disable notifications for a specific community?
Not yet — notification settings apply globally, so it's not currently possible to disable them for one community while keeping them active for others.
Q: How often are digest emails sent?
Digest emails are sent based on your preference: daily (typically early morning), weekly (usually Monday morning), or monthly (start of each month).
Q: Who can access team reports?
Team reports are available to Owners, Admins, HR users with team override permissions, and managers of the specific team.
Q: Can I schedule reports to be emailed automatically?
Yes. When viewing a report, use the "Save" or "Schedule" option to create a recurring report that's emailed to specified recipients.
Q: What's the difference between Activity, People, and Content reports?
Activity reports show engagement metrics (logins, time spent, actions taken)
People reports focus on user progress and completion rates
Content reports analyse which content is being consumed and how
Q: Can I export report data?
Yes. Most reports include a CSV export option that downloads the data for use in spreadsheets or other tools.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
Not receiving comment notifications | Verify you authored the post. Only post authors receive comment notifications. |
@Mention notification not appearing | Ensure you typed @ directly followed by the name. Check you're a member of the community. |
@team mention — some members not notified | Only active members of the team receive notifications. Inactive or suspended users are excluded. |
@here not sending notifications to all members | @here notifies active Community members only. Check that the affected users are active members of the Community. |
Team Activity Digest not arriving | Check that you manage at least one team and that you haven't set the digest frequency to "never". |
Can't access team reports | Check that you have an Owner, Admin, HR, or Manager role — only these roles can access team reports. HR users may need the team policy override enabled. |
Report showing no data | Check the date range and team selection. Ensure the community has active members. |
Export not downloading | Try a different browser or check your download settings. Large exports may take longer. |
