-The Ltr ID, Preq ID, Description, Letter Type, Absence Type, Period Type, Nbr Abs 
-Req, and Nbr Tdy Equiv Req fields display data entered on the Maintenance > Letters 
-> Update > Directory tab. The data in the fields cannot be updated on this page. 
  
- 
-Select Select for Prt to print the letter type. 
- 
- 
-The program works by looking for the Nbr Abs Req and comparing it to the current 
-total absences for the student. If the current total absences is greater than the 
-Nbr Abs Req for several letters with the same Letter Type, Absence Type, and Period 
-Type, then the letter with the closest Nbr Abs Req (that is not over the current 
-total absences) will print. If it does not have Select for Prt selected, a letter 
-is not printed. Select for Prt does not control whether the letter is generated, 
-only whether the letters, once generated, are printed. For this reason, it is recommended 
-that you leave Select for Prt selected for all letters (except Mail out (no ltr control), 
-which will print every time if it is left selected). 
- 
- 
-The setting for the field is saved so you can run the same letter again throughout 
-the year without having to reselect the field. Only letters that were not previously 
-printed are generated. For example, if a letter with the Nbr Abs Req field set to 
-3 is printed for a student, the same letter is not generated again. 
- 
- 
-The Four-Week Truancy and Six-Month Truancy letters are generated according to the 
-number of unexcused absences, so a student may receive multiple truancy letters. 
- 
- 
-This field is disabled if a letter body does not exist for the letter type. 
- 
- 
-Multiple letters can be selected and processed at one time. 
- 
- 
-If you are using prerequisite IDs, it is recommended that you select all letters 
-in the set of letters with prerequisite IDs to ensure that each student gets the 
-appropriate letters. 
- 
- 
-Click Run to process the selected letters. The Letters tab is displayed.
