Am I correct that this simply can't be done in Tessitura? What I want to do is, for a list, create a salutation of a specific type (from TR_SIGNOR), if one doesn't exist for that type, and then update it using a selected format (from TR_SALUTATION_FORMAT). All I see is Rebuild Salutations, which will not create a salutation where one does not exist, and will only ever update using the default salutation format. I'm not finding anything in the documentation.
Part of what is driving this is that different organizations in our consortium want different salutation formats. My plan is to create different salutation types for each organization, different salutation formats, and then I'd hoped to use a utility to create and set salutations of they type and format for all of their flagged constituents where a salutation was missing.
Hi Gawain Lavers, I had to build a customization to achieve this for my consortium. I'm happy to share what I have, but v16 has some big changes surrounding salutation formats and types, so my suggestion would be to wait until you get to v16 and then customize if you still need to. (And for what it's worth my consortium will still need our customization in v16, although it's of course a little different than in v15.)
Thanks! I'd love to see your example, and also thanks for the warning about v16: we have it in Dev, so I'll check out the changes there.
