Fix for required reading feature
The Required Reading Monthly Reminder has been re-worked with different technology and design patterns consistent with newer email notifications introduced. This will fix the discrepancy that has previously occurred between the number of required readings in the web app and the notification email.
The required reading notifications will be sent on the 1st of each month at 6.00AM AEST.
