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.
You can create a variety of letters for the same purpose. For instance, you may choose to use one letter as the default confirmation letter and another letter as the "family" version of the letter that would describe events for children to attend.
Other types of letters may be in different languages or may have different marketing messages.
To edit, any letter in the MyPMS system, go to Setup | Parameters | Letters.
