Letter Settings for the Parent Portal

Letters Settings for the Parent / Student Module

The "Letters Settings" screen enables - but does not automatically force - Attendance, Conduct and Student Data Letters to appear on the "Student Data->Letters" screen of the Parent / Student module.

Letters settings are found on the Parents>Setup>Settings>School Settings>Letters Settings screen:

These fields have the following meanings and usage:

Field	Description
Attendance	When set to "Yes", Attendance Letters can be shared to the Parent / Student Module for the corresponding School. When set to "No" Attendance Letters will not appear for students in the School.
Conduct	When set to "Yes", Conduct Letters can be shared to the Parent / Student Module for the corresponding School. When set to "No", Conduct Letters will not appear for students in the School.
Student	When set to "Yes", Student Data Letters can be shared to the Parent / Student Module for the corresponding School. When set to "No", Student Data Letters will not appear for students in the School.

"Can be Shared" - Even when the parameters are set to "Yes", Letters do NOT automatically appear in the Parent Module.

After a letter has been run, the letters generated by the run must still be individually "Released" in order to appear in the Parent / Student Module.

Setting the flags described here to "Yes" only enables the Letters to appear, it does not cause them to appear.

In order for Letters to be available to a parent user, the "Relationship" field on the Parents>Setup>Users>Modify User screen must be filled out for the students attached to the account.
