Managing Unprompted Actions
When a student logged into a class session sends you a file outside of a collection, an Unprompted action is created.
These files, which are stored in a database, are shown in the Class Record until they are removed.
Unprompted actions are named "Unprompted" followed by the month and date. Each class session contains all .tns and .tnsp files sent from students in one Unprompted folder.
The latest Unprompted action appears at the top of the Class Record for the most recent files sent by a student during a class session. During the next class session, more recent Unprompted actions appear in the Class Record above the previous action.
