Single email for all records

[flan828]

I have a Slice created for all students that have missed class for the past 10 days. I have been able to create an email to send to the parents saying that their child has missed more than 10 classes. What I would like is to send the administrator a single email with all the students and parent info. In one PDF perhaps?
I have been reading but haven’t seen how to do this. Can someone please point me in the correct direction?
I am guessing that its something in the template?

Thanks,
Flan

<<START: [Student_id]>>
to:
<<START: slice-name[student_id]>>

Most likely, If I’ve referred you to this post, the answer to your question is simply to change it to just: [Column] One of the most common places I’ve seen new app builders use this, is within SELECT() expression, like: SELECT( Table[Col…

yeah I tried that also. I have an idea the name of the slice has spaces in it perhaps if I take the spaces out.

[flan828]

Thanks
