Site URL

Used by all users to access the RC-Reporter service to view and/or work on reports. The server name or IP address can be used.

Decimal Places

SMTP Server Name

The SMTP server that RC-Reporter uses to send scheduled reports. The SMTP server can be addressed using a name or IP, but the RC-Reporter server must have TCP/IP routing capabilities to the SMTP server. When addressing the SMTP server by name, ensure that the RC-Reporter server has hostname resolution to the SMTP server. To test this, ping the SMTP server by name using a command prompt on the RC-Reporter server.
