Missing Items Letter

Missing Items Letters can be used by the Admissions Office to inform applicants of requirements that have already been satisfied but, more importantly, to inform them of specific requirements/credentials that are missing from their application file. These requirements/credentials might include high school/college transcripts, letters of reference, and test scores. Hopefully, this letter prompts the applicant to submit the missing item(s) to complete their application file so that they can become a candidate, which allows the Admissions counselors to review their file and render a decision.

The Missing Items Letter should not be used as is but should be customized so that is it school-specific. The template can be viewed in two ways:

1.    Open the cmreport.pbl from the Custom directory, and select the r_ad_req_letter report in InfoMaker. Note that this file will not exist until the first time you modify it through Merge Documents.

2.    Open the Merge Documents window, right-click on the merge document with the ADMIL letter code, select the Edit Document Definition option, and click the Customize button to the right of the PBL Name column on the Merge Document Definition window. When you initially click the Customize button on the Merge Document Definition window for the ADMIL document definition, the cmreport.pbl file will be created in a directory like this: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Jenzabar J1 . You can then customize the default report and save it with a new name. If you create any nested reports in cmreport.pbl, you must exit and re-enter the module in order for the application to recognize the new nested reports.
