Hi Laura,
We had some contributions – the ZIP file and the list were updated.
FulPlaceOnHoldShelfLetter.xml – fixed
FulPickupRequestReportLetter.xml – added
OwnerSubscriptionLetter – not yet… maybe you can create it with “Xml to Letter Admin” and contribute.
Thanks,
Ori

@Tamar: 68 letters are currently listed here above. However, the zip file contains only 51 XML samples. I was for example looking for FulBorrowingInfoLetter.xml, but I haven’t found it. I will use the “Xml to Letter Admin” option in Alma to get it, but it would be nice if the zip could contain all Alma letters. Thanks.

Please add the new Leganto Upcoming Due Dates Notifications Email Letter.
Thank you
@tamar: could this list or zip file be updated? The contents don’t match the list. Alternatively, is there somewhere else where I can find a comprehensive list of XML samples? Thanks!
Hi!
I’ve looked and looked and looked. Everywhere in presentations on letter customization (and here) the path “Alma Configuration > General > General Configuration > XML to Letter Admin” is referred to, but I cannot find it. Does the function exist?
Thank you!
P.S.: I particularly need the Ful Fees/Fines Notification Letter
Hi, I have already received a helpful answer: Using the updates “Add from System Letter”-functionality works great.
Does anyone have a copy of the “NotifyUponRenewalLetter.xml” letter?
It was noted as being in the file but is not present.
I am also looking for any tips on how to get rid of the “Dear Sir/Madam” that appears on a lot of letters. We would like to adjust it to be more suitable for our patrons.
Thanks
Both FulLostRefundFeeLoanLetter and FulFinesFeesNotificationLetter were added to the compressed file.
Hello all,
In the past year, there was a major change in the Alma letters configuration. This includes a better and easy way to get the example XMLs from within Alma.
For more information please refer to the OLH: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/050Administration/050Configuring_General_Alma_Functions/070Configuring_Alma_Letters#Testing_Letter_Output_and_Viewing_the_Source_XML:~:text=You%20can%20browse%20the%20latest%20server%20side%

Could you please add the new Patron Welcome Letter to the zip file?
Can I use different email templates for overdue notices if the loans are under different ToU?
The option to use different email templates for overdue notice if the loans are under different TOU is currently not available. The templates are according to how long after the due date the profile is run, and can also be limited by the library/user group. There are a couple more options – also locations, item policy, and material type. However – there are up to 5 notification types.
