Manage Stationery Templates

You can setup and distribute customised stationery RTFs in enterprise and custom templates. Stationery does not require approval in order to distribute to properties.

When the Multi Language OPERA Control is enabled in the enterprise template, language-specific templates can be configured in each stationery group. Ensure all required Languages are configured in the enterprise template as a dependency.

There are two types of stationery groups:

  • Fixed Quantity - these stationery groups (such as folios, receipts) support the setup of only one template (for all languages). When the Multi Language OPERA Control is enabled in the enterprise template, an RTF template is required for each Language listed on the page.
  • Multiple (Unlimited) - these stationery groups (such as confirmations, registration cards) support the setup of any number of RTF templates, often selected by users at runtime. When the Multi LanguageOPERA Control is enabled in the enterprise template you must select a Language for each stationery entry created.

Tip:

When adding stationery to the same report group in both enterprise and custom templates, ensure the RTF filenames are unique to prevent distribution failures.

Note:

To ensure compatibility, consider the lowest OPERA Cloud version deployed throughout your enterprise when distributing stationery templates.

A list of supported stationery groups is presented in the left side panel according to the Stationery Group tasks granted to your user group.
