What changed

The new "Letters" section is built for formal correspondence inside the business:

  • Internal letters: write to one or more colleagues. Each recipient shows whether and when they read it.
  • Notes and referrals: anyone on a letter can add a note (paraf) underneath or refer it to another colleague.
  • Secretariat: outgoing letters take a number from your number series, and letters from outside are registered as incoming with the sender's own number.
  • Labels, archive, print and turn into a task for any letter.

How to use it

  1. Under "Work", open Letters.
  2. Press "New letter", choose recipients, write the subject and text, and send.
  3. On a letter, press Refer to send it to someone else, or add a note underneath.
  4. For a formal outgoing letter press "Number it". For a letter received from outside press "Register incoming" and enter the sender's letter number.
  5. Create number series under Outgoing number series with "Add series" (prefix, suffix and starting number).
  6. Find letters with the "Inbox", "Outbox", "Archived", "Registered incoming" and "Registered outgoing" tabs and the "Unread" filter.

Good to know

  • Numbering and registering need the "Number and register letters (secretariat)" permission, which Administrator and Operations manager have by default. You can give it to other roles in "Team management".
  • "Letters and secretariat (NabuLetter)" is an add-on.
  • In the Mizito theme, Letters is one of the eight main rooms on the side.
