Email Templates

Use the Email Template Editor to maintain email templates used for sending emails from Payroll. You can create as many emails as you need for each type of template with the easy to use Editor. The Editor works similar to Microsoft Word including having styles and formatting functions. The Editor also offers functions for copying and pasting images, inserting tables and links as well as other features. Templates can be customized by inserting fields from a data field list. The inserted fields will fill with customer data when the email is generated.

Note: An empty template can be created if needed. It must have a template type and an email configuration assigned so that the SMTP server is known.
