Editing a Mail Merge Template

Mail merge templates control how a child's information is laid out when you print or generate a document, such as an enrolment record. 


You can edit them to change what's included and how it looks. If you're comfortable editing email templates this will feel familiar — the key is understanding where each piece of information comes from.


Follow the interactive guide below to edit a mail merge template:

▶ Prefer written steps? Click here for the text-only version
  1. Go to Settings (the tool icon), then open Templates.
  2. Select the Mail Merge tab, hover over the template you want to change, and click the edit (pencil) icon.
  3. Type any headings or labels where you want them, then add merge fields by finding the field in the side menu and double-clicking to insert it at your cursor.
  4. Add tables using the insert option, and apply a table theme once your fields are in place.
  5. Save your changes.



Advanced: Adding a subform (such as Authorised Nominees)


To include a related list — for example, a child's authorised nominees — add a repeat region:

  1. Click Automate → Subforms, choose the subform / related list you want (for example, Authorised Nominees), then select Insert Repeat Region → Insert Table for Repeat Row.
  2. Add the number of columns you want in the table.
  3. Add the column titles, then add the merge fields in the second row.
  4. Customise the look of the table if you need to.

Once your template is set up the way you want, you can move on to Print a copy of a child's enrolment record.
