Allow External Examiners to defer notifications until all the assessments are ready.

This feature request is:

We’d like if the EEs weren’t prompted every time a sign-off happens, but rather when their EE assessment load was complete, they would receive an email to say that their assigned modules were ready for review.

This is not trivial to do. First of all it is difficult for the system to determine in a bullet proof way that all modules are ready for review unless every module coordinator is scrupulously compliant. Batching communications is also a bit tricky because the system generates emails on a sign off event, and keeping emails for some recipients but not others is a bit complex.

In the meantime, I would encourage EE's to use a rule to filter their email into a subfolder.

One possibility is a switch for External Examiners not to receive notifications, and then Schools have to manually email them. It would be necessary to adjust messages to users to warn them that EEs have opted out of messages, or may have.
