Important Note:
In an effort to ensure scheduled messages contain accurate information, the notifications feature incorporated in Web Central modules allows for only one scheduled notification at a time.
If a site user modifies and saves an existing item that already has a notification scheduled, a new notification window will appear, and the notification settings entered will overwrite the existing scheduled notification.
For example, if a site user edits the Tomato Festival Calendar event to reschedule the event to a later date due to weather, when the site user saves, they will be prompted to re-fill out the notification settings and should set them based on the modifications they made to the event. If the user chooses Don't Send this will cancel the previously scheduled notification and will not create a new notification to be sent.
