Customisable template emails can be created and used for seeking approval for a student to be submitted for an exam.

The email can include information such as exam subject, grade, fee, and accompanist fee. When the email is sent, today's date is entered in the exam record. When the parent/guardian responds and grants approval, the 'Approval' radio button can be changed to 'Yes'.

To set up or edit the template, go to Common Tasks > Exams > Set up email template for exam approval.

To send emails for a group of records, go to Common Tasks > Exams > Send Exam Approval Emails. Confirm or edit your search criteria on the next screen (it defaults to Status = 'Current') and click 'Perform Find'.

On the next screen you will be able to preview the emails and edit the template. 

Click 'Continue' to generate and send the emails.

Note: A number of other school specific templates are also available for use, however, the custom template is the most flexible. To use a school specific template, click the Settings cog at the top right of the Exams List (Home > Student Activity > Exams) and select one of the alternative templates.
