Every letter has a letter type. These let you categorize your letters and group them by what is being communicated. When filtering or searching on letters, you can do that by letter type when you don't care which birthday card the person got (e.g. "Staff birthday", "Junior volunteer birthday" or "Senior volunteer birthday" letters) or by specific letter when it does matter (e.g. the "TB test clear" letter means something very different than the "TB test positive" letter.)
To define letter types, click Setup letter types on the left navigation bar from within Letter templates and then click Add letter type to add a new type.
