Replacing the Default Letterhead

This article is part of the systems administration guide. You will require administration access to view the pages mentioned in this article.

To Replace the Default Letterhead:

1. Click Administration.
2. Click Correspondence
3. There will be an image called Default - click Edit.
4. Browse to your logo on your computer or network.
5. Click Open.
6. You can change the Description to "Company Logo" or something similar.
7. Click Update Picture.

You can test this by going to a patient and creating a letter and then Printing it. If your logo is too large, you have two options:

1. Resize the logo in an image editor to a suitable size, then re-upload it; or,
2. Edit the Printing Template so it reduces the size of the image.

If option 2 is your preferred method, then follow these steps:

1. Click Administration.
2. Click Correspondence
3. Click Printing Templates.
4. Click XSL-FO.
5. Under Custom Template, click Show on the Default Letter Template.
6. Click Edit.
7. Find the code snippet below:

   1. <xsl:template name="layout-header">
      <fo:block  text-align="center" width="190mm">
      <!--src needs to point to a letter head path-->
      <fo:external-graphic src="system_images/default" />
      </fo:block>
      </xsl:template>

8. Change the following line in the snippet - in this example want to resize your image to 400px wide x 50px high

   1. <fo:external-graphic src="system_images/default/with_size/400x50" />

9. Click Update Custom Template.
10. Test by Generating a letter.

You may have to test via trial and error to get the image to size correctly.
