Calculated monthly, this is the number of user devices actively receiving push notifications from the Moodle site. For example, for a site with 200 users enrolled, if half of them are using the app with one device configured to receive notifications, the potential number of active devices per month will be 100.

For Android only, the Push notifications received by your users will be able to include images and similar messages will be grouped, for example, when receiving private messaging notifications. Requires activation via the Moodle Apps Portal.

Custom site listing in search results

Your users will be able to find your site by name in addition to typing the complete site’s URL. You can configure how your site information is displayed in the “Site finder” including adding an image for your site and additional information.
