Input the Title for the Template.

Select Active / Inactive from the dropdown menu to indicate if the template is available for use.

Tags can be selected from a dropdown menu to organize templates and/or control visibility.

Both individual people and certification roles can be selected as desired recipients via dropdown menu in the “Send To” line.

Include the subject line for communications, as well as a message.

An attachment can be uploaded from your personal device to be included in the template, or you have the option to select one or more files from KAStrack’s Document Module.

KAStrack documents that are tagged may limit visibility of this template. Specifically, if a template contains a tagged document you cannot see, you will be unable to see the template when sending a communication. Individuals with access to a Document that has visibility restrictions for others via Tags cannot use Send Communication to send that tagged Document to users that lack the authorization to see it.

Select “Save” and the New Communications Template will show in the Communications Template Table on the Settings Page.

The template can now be applied as desired when sending communications in the system on the Send Communications Page. You can also click the closed envelope symbol in the Communication Templates table to go to the Send Communications page and pre-fill the chosen template.

To use a pre-existing communications template, go to the Send Communications Page in the Communications Module.

A dropdown menu allows you to choose to add additional attachments from the template to the existing Send Communication form, or to completely replace what is on the form with the attachments associated with the template.

Selecting “Replace” from the dropdown menu will remove any existing attachments on the Send Communication form.

Clicking the communication template you wish to use will input who the communication is being sent to, the subject of the email, and the body message automatically, as well as add or replace attachments based on your selection in the dropdown menu above the template list.
