Nicer looking Referral E-Mail
The option 'E-Mail' on the History Report is idea for sending information back to other practices if you are involved with referral work or run an Out of Hours service. By default it is 'Plain Text', you can tell the system to use 'HTML' allowing you to have a corporate image.
- Step 1: Enable it
Add an entry to params.txt
Web_Mail = YesNow try it - login to the system and mail yourself a history, this will allow you to see what the basic format looks like - yes you should mail it to yourself on a PC (See the FAQ Use a Windows Mailer for details on setting up your PC).
- Step 2: Customise it
All mail sent will be 'assigned' to the user sending it, you may want to add a 'corporate' address e.g. vets@practice, out-of-hours@practice etc. Use any editor and add the mail address you want visible to the file
/u/www/mail_from
e.g.Out of Hours Service <ooh@vetsolutions.co.uk>
Note: If this address is NOT a valid user on your system then you should add an entry to
/usr/lib/aliasesto re-direct any replies you get to the correct user(s)
e.g.ooh: tom, leeThere are two other files that are added to the top and bottom of the message. These should be customised as you see fit:
/u/www/head.htmlAdded at the top /u/www/tail.htmlAdded at the bottom You should use any of the editors, or an html editor e.g. FrontPage if you want, to add your corporate image. You can include images from your web site (we can arrange to add your image to our web site if required). Add/Change any of the exisiting details as you see fit.
It is unlikly you will need to change 'tail.html', all of your changes will be in 'head.html'.
