Mail merge details
When you run a mail merge you will be presented with a notification of the number of documents to be generated as well as a couple of options:
- The description option allows you to choose between single and multiple documents. The "Single Document" options will generate all of the results as a single document so it can be easily printed off. The "Multiple Document" function will generate each as a single document against the appropriate case.
- The data source option selects what the mail merge is stored against. "Contacts" will store the document in the contact page of each client, "Cases" will store them against the relevant case and "File System" will store the documents as files in the system.
