Send the SRL
MAP
Set up the web letter SRL
Set up a POD which tells MAP which screen in SITS you are using, and attach this to a COP
Set up POP’s for each of the retrieve profile fields
The MAP user clicks on the link to run the SRL (or the SRL is run automatically if all parameters are set automatically)

Example in SITS: PRG
Types of VISTAs
WARNINGS:
Students may find VISTAs more difficult to use than the rest of content on MAP
For Students to use they would need to be very user friendly, and for one specific purpose
We should find that staff are more able to user VISTAs, especially if given some training or guidance
