Maintaining Correspondence

Overview

You use the Correspondence feature to maintain the  templates that the Credit Professional Services Organization (PSO) sets up as part of your implementation. These templates are used in the following situations:

  • Credit analysts and sales representatives select from these templates when generating e-mail messages in the Correspondence feature in the Automated Decisions or Customer Analysis modules.

  • eCredit uses these templates when sending automated correspondence for messages defined by your collections strategies.

  • eCredit uses these templates to create action items in collectors' work queues as defined by your collections strategies.

  • eCredit uses these templates when sending dispute notification to resolvers and dispute contacts.

You can maintain the following information for correspondence templates:

  • Description of the template. The description identifies the template and distinguishes it from other templates.

  • Whether the correspondence is sent inline (in the body of the e-mail), or as an attachment.

  • Whether or not the template is active. When you select the Is Active check box for a template, the template is available to users who have access privileges to the Correspondence feature, and to any automated processes that references the template.

  • Whether the template is generated as HTML or plain text. The selection you make appears as the default on the screen, but users can change this when generating correspondence.

  • Default subject for the e-mail. This is the subject the e-mail recipient sees when they receive the e-mail. The selection you make appears as the default on the screen, but users can change this when generating correspondence.
