  7. E-mail Projects - Blank SSN Application Notification Step 1 – create the e-mail document thru DOC - Actually this is a template Communications Management for Curriculum

  8. E-mail Projects - Blank SSN Application Notification Step 1 continued- create the document paragraph that will be in the e-mail message. Since the entire document is set-up in the document paragraph screen, no document file set-up is needed here. Communications Management for Curriculum

  9. E-mail Projects - Blank SSN Application Notification Step 1 continued- e-mail document options. Our return address for these e-mail documents is our generic admissions mailbox. Also if the student needs to reply back to us, they can thru this generic mailbox. The Subject line on this particular e-mail is “Welcome to CPCC”. This screen is a new feature of R18. In 18 we can be more creative with the subject line – in R17, it was the actual description of the document as found on the DOC screen. Communications Management for Curriculum

  12. E-mail Projects - Blank SSN Application Notification In this case, PID7 would use the CPCC E-Mail Hierarchy, something we wouldn't want on a student document. However, if no E-mail hierarchy was not indicited on the DOC screen, that’s just what would happen. Communications Management for Curriculum
