PU 501 | 500: Mail merge functionality removed

In this product update, the mail merge functionality has been removed due to the discontinued technology that it was built on. We strongly suggest that you use the Word Merge functionality instead.

Documents page

The mail merge menu path under the Layouts section at Modules > Documents > Setup is removed. For more information, see Documents menu.

Documents: Settings page

The Label: Accounts field and New Word Merge check box in the Word Merge section are removed. For more information, see Setting up documents.

Mail merge targets are removed

The targets for mail merge are removed. You will see an error message if you enter the mail merge targets in the URL.

The mail merge targets are also removed from the following function rights:

• 153 - View restricted items in search
• 160 – Allows word merge from resource search
• 194 – Shows word merge buttons in resource dossier

Mail merge document types are not created

If you create a new database, mail merge document types will not be created in the Templates section on the Documents: Types page. The Word Merge document types will be created instead. For more information, see Overview of document types.
