| New Add to Email Queue form |
| When emailing from a transaction or report, the new Add to Email Queue form lets you use an email template or write an email from scratch. I think it's unnecessary to explain when the new form opens. They'll get there when they get there. Explaining it here makes it seem too important, when how they get there doesn't actually affect how they use the form. The focus should be on how to use the form and what it can do. We can mention it more briefly in the following section about templates. There's a few ways to get to the new form: - If you've enabled hotprinting, click the Email icon (Image Added) on a form toolbar.
- If you haven't enabled hotprinting, click the Email icon (Image Added) to open Print Report form. Then, click the Print button.
- From the Reports menu, select a report to open the Print report form. Set the Output report to field to EMail, Auto email/print or Auto email. Then, click the Print button.

What templates are available?The available templates depend on how you get to the Add to Email Queue form. If you get there from a form where output to email is available, then you can choose from transaction and Masterfile templates. These templates allow the email to be automatically filled with details about the transaction or document. If you get there by selecting Auto email or Auto email/print on the Print Report form, then you can only choose from Masterfile templates. This is because the email you send might have multiple attachments, so individual transaction details wouldn't be applicable. If you select Email as the output from a hardcoded or softcoded report, the templates are based on the Company class. Is "based on Company class" right?
