This program will provide a way for a user to choose student(s) and a letter; then print out the letters.

  • The entire letter system will support multiple languages per letter. Each letter starts with a default letter and additional languages can be added with the language text. The letter will not be translated so it must be written in the designated language. The system uses the Student Home language field in Country Entry in Student Master, like all communications, to determine the correct letter to print and records the language sent in the Letter Log Report. The default letter is sent if the language is not present.
