Letters are divided into smaller elements so that they can be reused. These elements can be a paragraph, a sentence, a word, an image, a <TAG> or <bookmark>, a table or a signature.
By defining a letter into smaller objects, the system provides the facility for the user to manage both the quality and quantity of the letters. Changes can be made to these elements and once authorised, these elements will immediately be available in new letters that are produced. This makes these letters dynamic and provides for real-time letter changes.
This can be further refined by using the following features:
- Positioning of images in a document
- Positioning of tables in a document
- Positioning of paragraphs of text in a document
- Linking of database fields to pre-defined tags
- Insertion of tags into paragraphs of text
- Insertion of tags into tables
- Re-use of text, tables, annexures and images across multiple templates
- Definition of headers and footers that are repeatable over multiple pages
- Definition of page, size, orientation and margins
- Definition of orientation of tables
- Selection of fonts
- Selection of colours for element cells
- Assignment of templates to specific schemes
Within the definition of each of the elements is the facility to link in system generated data about the member.
