Universal Message
If you choose to have a Universal Message print, it prints on all statements. The Universal message prints in a special area of the billing statement reserved for the Universal message.

Setting Automatic And Universal Messages are permanent. You do not have to set them each time you perform billing. The process of creating these messages will now be discussed.

Setting Automatic Messages
To designate the messages to be used for Automatic and Universal Message printing, click on the Edit Auto Messages button. The Automatic And Universal Message Entry screen will open. This screen displays five text boxes, four of which are for Automatic Message designation, and the other for the Universal Message. There are two ways to designate an Automatic Message. They are:

• Manual Entry - You may click in the appropriate text box and enter in whatever message you want. All text will be centered and word wrapping will be active. If you wish to create a new line before the end of a line is reached, press Control-Enter to force a new line.
• Select Message From Billing Message Table - Diamond Dental Software comes with a library of pre-entered billings messages that are stored in the Billing Message table. You may also add to this library via the Billing Messages button on the System Files menu. To select your Automatic Message from this library, click on the Auto Msg Edit button. The Billing Message Selection screen will open. From this screen you may select any of the messages in the library to be used for this message. Once the message is transferred to the Automatic And Universal Message Entry screen, you may modify it without affecting the Billing Message library.

Leaving the message text box blank essentially disables that Automatic Message. For example, you may want Automatic Messages for accounts Over 30, 60, and 90 days delinquent, but not for accounts who are current (0 to 30 days). In that case, designate messages for the 30, 60, and 90 day message text boxes, and leave blank the 0 to 30 day text box.

Setting The Universal Message
The Universal Message is also set from the Automatic And Universal Message Entry screen. If a message is entered into the Universal Message text box, that message will print on all statements. If you do not want a Universal Message, leave it blank, or make it blank. Leaving a message blank or making it blank essentially nullifies it.
