Creating Collections Letters

Collection Letters are created based upon your organizations collections policy.  Multiple letters can be setup and attached to Collection Templates to be used during the collections process.

Standard Subject and Body Fields and Collection User Defined Fields are used to populate specific facility and resident information in your letters when you generate the letters.

You can add a Header Image or Footer Image such as a company logo in A/R Configuration and attached to your collection letters.

Note

If your facility wants to use User Defined Fields in Collection Letters, these must be setup first.

After a letter is attached to a Template Configuration or generated on a Collection account, the letter can no longer be deleted.
