Purpose

Create correspondence rules to define, in HTML, templates for the content of outgoing correspondence. Each correspondence rule contains standard text for one type of correspondence such as email, letter, or fax. JSP tags or directives allow correspondence to incorporate property values and calculations.

Informally, correspondence rules are sometimes called templates, as they define form letters for property values.

To print correspondence or send faxes, your Process Commander system must be connected to a Correspondence Output Server. To send correspondence as email messages, your system must contain an Email Account data instance and connect to a mail server.

Correspondence rules that use JavaServer Pages tags can incorporate paragraph rules (Rule-HTML-Paragraph rule type), which provide rich-text editing on the rule form. PROJ-111

You can convert a correspondence rule previously saved with directives to the newer JSP format. SR-3743 B-20873
