Using the Perform Mail Out Wizard
Regardless of where you initially access the Perform Mail Out Wizard, you will always be presented with the same three steps:
- Select Template
On the first step, select the type of mail out (letter, envelope or label) and then use the drop-down menus below to select the appropriate template. Letters can be sorted by street name, last name, or zip code.
Note: If you accessed the wizard from within a specific library by using the Create for Contact icon next to a template, that template will already be selected for you in Step 1.
The Mail Out Detailssection can be expanded by clicking on the header, and allows you to specify a description, date, and priority to the mail out. You can also assign it to another team member or assistant, set a drop-off date, or link it to a Listing or Closing. Clicking Next proceeds to step 2.
- Select Recipients
You can drag and drop contacts from the contact rolodex located on the right, or perform a search for a group of contacts by clicking Search & Attach Multiple Contacts. After your desired contacts are added, click the Create Button.
Note: If you accessed the wizard from within a Contact or Lead record using the Perform Action for Contact menu, that contact will already be selected for you in Step 2.
- View & Print
The final step of the wizard opens the mail out for editing and printing.
You can cycle through each instance of the mail out (if there are multiple contacts) by clicking Next or Previous at the bottom of the page and make changes to each instance. The Print Now button will open the mail out in a PDF preview window and allow it to be printed. Print Later will schedule the mail out as an activity to be displayed in your Activities Summary. When finished printing, click Mark Done.
