This lesson will guide you through the process of Form Letter Template Linking.

Where to Start

1. Go to Attendance.

2. Select Attendance Letters.

3. In sub menu, click on Manage Letter Configurations.

4. Click on the letter configuration you want to edit.

Click on Templates to bring you Attendance Form Letter Templates page.

Click on Template Linking to bring you to a page where you can link templates to the current letter set.

Clicking on "Add Form Letter Template" creates a template.
PDF: Link to a page where users may upload a blank PDF template.
Layout: Link to a blocking (field) page where you can configure different fields similar to a form letter application.

This shows different languages available for correspondence. Note, this is set up in Code Management under the table called "Language." The language must be set with 'Is Correspondence' as "Yes/True." Additionally, the Correspondence Language field on the student demographic details page needs to match the language template you want to see printed for that student (i.e. Spanish needs to be selected in that field for the Spanish template to print).
