It&#8217;s a &#8220;smart&#8221; feature, so it won&#8217;t send a reminder to a student who has already turned it in. They can also set it to send a list to themselves (summary) of the students who have not yet completed the assignment. &nbsp;<em>Now, in Version 8.1, they can send the same summary or list to the designated assistant.<\/em> See quick video below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"hs-responsive-embed hs-responsive-embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"hs-responsive-embed-iframe\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 377px;\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xyJvhF_6tr8\" width=\"377\" height=\"150\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-service=\"youtube\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Agents are a great time-saving tool.
