Creating, Duplicating, and Deleting Notices
The example below is an Individual Letter Email from the Membership Reports menu, but the steps apply to any Notice (letter, card, email) in CDM+.
Begin by selecting Individual Emails either from the Welcome to CDM+ Membership window or the menu.
You can access the Welcome to CDM+ Membership window from Program → Membership → Welcome to Membership. Click on the Reports tab.
You can access Notices from the CDM+ Reports Menu. For our example, go to Reports → Membership Reports → Notices → Individual Emails
A new window will open. Click on the Notices tab, and then the Select/Add button.
A new window opens and displays existing notices as well as notice categories.
Here, you may create a new notice, edit an existing notice, or duplicate a notice you previously sent.
