Process a letter fulfillment job

A letter fulfillment job is created to make it easy for you to  process a mail merge and print labels for a list of contacts. The job is  created when the letter template is used in a campaign. It includes a  link to a letter template that auto-merges contact information from the  contact records so that you can batch print the letter for those people.  The letter jobs are automatically displayed in the fulfillment job  widget on your Dashboard.

Each job will accumulate (or queue up)  people until you begin processing. After you begin processing a specific  job, the system will not add any new people to it. It will, instead,  create a new job the next time the template is triggered. A letter job  displays the status, the name, and count (number of people queued) as  well as a link to view and process the job.

1. Click on Begin to view and begin processing the job. Clicking on this link updates the job status to processing and the system will stop adding people to the job.
   
   
    
2. Click on the Open Merged Letter link to open the letter in Microsoft Word and generate the mail merge. If prompted, click on Open or Open in Word. The system will customize the letter for each person in the queue so that you can print them all at once.
