The MyPMS software provides the ability to use dynamic custom Letters within group and individual bookings. The Letters feature is a fully integrated text editor with data merge fields. It gives the user the ability to create, personalize, and customize multiple letters with ease. Base templates will be provided for the following Letters: Confirmation, Cancellation, Reg Card and Group Booking. Please note even if you do not wish to add additional letters you must customize the provided templates with information relevant to your property.

To edit, or delete any letter in the MyPMS system, go to Setup | Parameters | Letters.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Letter: choose the Letter you want to edit by clicking on the Letter I.D. or selecting it and choosing 'Edit'. The Letter will open in an Editor which you can use to customize your letter.
  2. Editor Toolbar: The toolbar at the top has many features you can use to customize your Letter including add image, text formatting and other standard features. It also includes Merge fields used to place booking, financial and guest information from your records and transactions.
    • Merge Fields

      • To insert the value of the merge field you want, place your cursor at the location in Letter you want it to appear. Then, click on the desired value from the merge fields list.
      • To change or edit your Merge fields in the Letter, highlight the field and click on the BookingCenter "globe" icon in the top-left of the editor. Choose the new field from the drop down menu and it  will replace the highlighted field.
