3. If you are using follow up events, select the event that is to be used for this.
4. Indicate if you want your trainers to be able to send emails to clients via the Trainer Portal.
5. Indicate if you want your trainers to be able to send SMS messages to clients via the Trainer Portal.
6. Configure the My Students page to display students based on the trainer having access to the student's Enrolments, Classes, Events and Occurrences.  Switch off displaying the relevant relationship by unticking the checkbox.
7. Choose whether student images should be displayed in the Trainer Portal. These are only displayed in the detailed modal view for a student.
8. This tickbox controls the ability for trainers to access an iCal file subscription of their schedule.  A third party calendaring application such as (Outlook, Google calendar, iOS & Android) may then be used to subscribe to that schedule link.  see Portal iCal subscription for further detail. 
9. To default the portal to have the record signatures box checked on relevant modals, tick this option.

2. Tick this box if you want any of your data entered by trainers to be submitted for Quality Assurance before being saved in VETtrak.
3. Indicate which kinds of data and actions need to pass through Quality Assurance. In the above example, trainers can add and edit client and employer events and the information will be saved directly into VETtrak. All other items must pass through Quality Assurance first. The deletion of any item must also pass through the approval process.
4. Untick the box if you do not want your QA events to appear on Trainer Portal's schedule whilst under Quality Assurance.
