Updating the System E-mail Server Configuration

Previous  Home topic  Next  Print this topic Send Feedback

In order for notification e-mails and system e-mails to be sent, you must set up an SMTP e-mail profile that PerfectForms™ can use as the default for the system. As the application root URL and e-mail profile are defined during installation, use the Settings page only if you need to change these settings later.

 


Release Consideration for Version 1.16: Administrators will be required to set up the e-mail server again when updating to version 1.16 release of PerfectForms™. For more information on installation, see the Installation Procedure topic.
