E-mailing a Batch of Pre-overdue Notices Automatically

Day End can generate batches of pre-overdue notices and send them via email in one step using the Day End Create and Output Notices process, if borrowers are configured to receive email messages. If Family Groups functionality is enabled on your system, the emails of those borrowers who have designated a group member to receive their notifications are sent to those recipients.

If Family Group has been enabled on your system, Day End produces notices based on the preferences set in the family group. If all recipient borrowers for a borrower are set up for email, Day End emails notices to the specified recipients on the unselected print output days. If any of the borrower recipients for the borrower are set up for print notices, the email and printed notices are generated only on selected print output days.
