When sending automatic emails to students that were absent without approved leave, you can use templates that will populated based on a number of details contained with the register. These templates can be configured by clicking theĀ Email templates option at the bottom of theĀ Attendance section in the menu on the left side of MedLearn.

On the emails template page, you will see all the templates for a specific combination of Academic Year, Pathway, Registers or Absence & Leave and finally Group. This granularity allows for the creation of email templates that are specifically relevant to certain students. To create a template, click theĀ Create a new template button once under the desired academic year, pathway, category and group. Upon clicking this, you will see the following form.

This allows you to set aĀ Template Name so it’s easily identifiable when selecting for use, anĀ Email Subject that the student will receive and theĀ Email Content that’s contained within the body of the email.

Once you have created your email template, click theĀ Save template button.

Upon saving your created or updated template, or returning to them in the future, you can preview existing templates by clicking theĀ Preview button in the list of templates.
