Sub-letters are like detail reports: for each matching detail record, they'll be included once. For example, they can be used to list a person's assignments, upcoming trainings, or account records. For each letter template, you can define any number (including zero) of sub-letters. Click the Edit sub-letters link inside the letter template to configure the sub-letters.
To define or edit a sub-letter
The example below shows the creation of a "Training details" sub-letter. In this example, this sub-letter will print the date, the word "at", the start time and subject for each training a person has in his schedule. With this sub-letter in the body of the letter template we'll get a listing of all the person's trainings such as "March 24, 2017 at 9:00am Health and Safety Training."
