ProDon:Master Document Management

Introduction

The creation of the software master documents is integrated by Microsoft Word.  The merge fields are selected from the software and are automatically sent to Word to prepare the document. The master document management allows you to create, modify, activate or deactivate the master documents.

Presentation of the management screen

A: Allows you to create a new document.	B: Allows you to duplicate a document in order to use it as a template for a new document. You simply need to select the document to duplicate, then click on that button.
C: Allows you to edit a master document. You simply need to select the document to edit, then click on that button.	D: Allows you to activate or deactivate a document in order to place it in the "Active documents" or "Deactivated documents" tab.
E: Allows you to delete a master document. You simply need to select the document to delete, then click on that button (however, this option is not recommended; it is best to deactivate a document rather than deleting it).	F: Allows you to produce the document in a specific language. However, if the option "Use a document no matter what language" has been chosen for the document, there will only be one button.
G: This tab contains the active documents available for use in the software.	H: This tab contains the documents provided by Logilys as references. It is possible to duplicate and modify them as needed.
I: This tab contains the deactivated documents not available for use in the software.	J: This tab contains the master documents of "Receipts" type.

Configuration of a document

By clicking on the , or buttons in the "Master document management" window, the "Edit/View master document" window opens in so that you can configure the document.

Main screen

A: Allows you to name the document. This name will be used throughout the software.	B: If this option is activated, the document will have to be produced individually (one client at a time and not in a massive way).A material copy of the document will be saved in the client's file.Caution: the activation of this option is not use to plan follow-ups concerning a document. For reply statistics or to make a recall (2nd mailing), consult the "Mailings history" document.
C: Allows you to enter or not a section break between each element to merge.	D: There are two options in this drop-down list: "Use a document no matter what language", which allows you to produce a single document and "Use a document by language", which allows you to produce several documents, one for each language configured in the software (English, French ...).
E: Linked to option B, and allows you specify the material name of the document in the computer.	F: Activates a merge field linked to a sequential number. However, it is impossible to generate the same number twice (e.g. if it is necessary to reprint a document, it will not have its original number, it will follow the sequence instead).
G: It is the type of master document. The type has an impact on the merge fields available, as well as on the places where the master documents are available in the software. For more information, see the different types of master documents.	H: Allows you to produce an equal number of documents to the number of units present in a transaction.
I and J: Make available merge fields based on clients linked to transactions.	K and L: Indicate if the document should be produced before and/or after receiving the payment for the transactions.
M: This tab allows you to specify the merge fields that will be available during the production of the master document in Word.	N: This tab makes available merge fields based on a link between two clients' files.
O: This tab allows you to add summaries to a document. Click here for more details regarding summaries.
