 From the student results page, review the information:

(1) If one is looking for a student profile, click on the Name in the Name Column to enter that person's file.

 

(2) Use the information on the page to either Phone or Email the student as needed.

 

(3) Else, there is a drop-down box above the table with three (3) options: Email, Reset Passwords, or Print Letter/Certification

To use these options:

(1) Select students using the check-boxes in front of the student’s name.  To Select All, click the box in the header tor click it again to Deselect All as needed.  Or one can use hold down the CTRL key to pick and select multiples or hold down the SHIFT key to select many in a row. 

(2) Select the drop-down option needed.

(3) Click the Go button. 

 

Email Option

 

 

In this option, select from the Create email drop-down either by choosing an existing correspondence template or by typing in an email from scratch.  If the correspondence option is selected, the page refreshes with a second drop-down option with already created and established templates. Click the Continue button when the appropriate option is selected.

 

Either option results in a page like this with an HTML editor.  If a template was selected, the template defaults into the editor with the Merge Fields being used.  If from scratch was selected, then the editor will default to a blank one.   Both have the option of adding Merge Fields using the drop-down list at the bottom of the page.

 

NOTE: Particular merge field will not merge information from this location.  For example, course or class information will not merge from this location because there is no way to know which classes/courses for which group of students selected will work to merge.

 

To add a merge field: 

(1) Select the desired field first

(2) Put the cursor in the editor where the merge field will go

(3) Click the Add button to insert the merge field

 

Click the Continue button when the template looks good.

 

 

The Preview Page is broken into four (4) sections.  

 

Section 1: Errors

This first section only displays IF there are errors.  For example, if one of the student's selected does not have an email address.  That person will be listed in this section and will need to be contacted via another method until an email address is an acceptable form of communication with that student.  If there are no errors (like the screenshot above) then the table will not display.  

 

Section 2: Attachments

This selection box pulls from Admin > Page Builder > Correspondence Templates > Available Attachments Tab.  To attach a document, click on it so that it is highlighted.  To select more than one hold the CTRL key down.  If there are no attachments to select from, that means there are none that were already loaded to the system. 

 

Section 3: Other Attachments

If there needs to be another attachment in the email that is not already loaded into the system, click the Select button to browse the computer or network.  Click the Add button to add more documents as needed.  If the wrong the document is added, click the Remove icon to take it off and add the right one.
