To Associate a Parameter with the Letter Function

After a Create Letter Function is added for a property, a new field group called Function appears on the Data Template Tab for each Letter Type. Use the Function field group to define the parameter you want to associate with the letter function.

1. From the eSite menu, select Setup—Letters—Data Template.
2. From the grid, select the template you want to edit.
3. From the Data Template Tab, under Field Groups, select Function. Your current letter functions appear in the Available fields list.
4. Double-click the letter function you want to use. A parameters list appears.
5. Select the parameter you want to associate with the letter function, and click Select. The parameter is added to the Selected Fields list, with the field label in parenthesis at the end of the text string.
6. Click Save. Now, you can use the field in a form letter to be used in the eSite letters process.

Note

For existing letter templates, if you edit templates because selected merge fields contain more than 35 characters, you must also edit the documents.
