Is there a PLD time chart available of when rules are "triggered" to cause alerts and emails to be sent to students? Just curious about what triggers the PLD rules and how often (maybe an internal built-in timer... every 30 minutes, every hour?).
Hi Greg, Your reply post has been extremely helpful to me regarding PLD timed events. Thank you for sharing this information. I learned about a whole new area in Moodle Admin this morning!
If you (or your Moodle admin) look to /admin/tool/task/scheduledtasks.php , you will see the very many scheduled tasks (CRON jobs)that run on Moodle, plus their timings.
Seach this for PLD, and you should find a scheduled task "Process PLD timed events (\local_pld\task\timed_events_task)".
I note that mine is set to ASAP, which basically means it will run whenever the machine is not otherwise busy.
Depending on the specifics on your PLD rule, I guess it could then be sending this off to another scheduled event, eg. "Messages digest mailings (\message_email\task\send_email_task)" which may have its own timing.
Just an educated guess, which is why it would be good to have it confirmed by OLMS
