Add a SMPT Server

This procedure adds a SMTP server at a hierarchy level.

Prerequisites:

  • Enable emails in the Global Settings (Email tab).

Perform these steps:

  1. Log in to the Admin Portal, at the hierarchy where you wish to add a SMPT server.

    Note

    You may only set up one SMTP server at each hierarchy level. Hierarchies below the hierarchy where the SMTP server is set up can use the SMTP server at the hierarchy above; that is, sites can use the SMTP server set up at the customer level.

  2. Go to (default menus) Apps Management > SMTP.

  3. Click the toolbar Plus sign (+) to add a new SMTP server.

  4. On the SMTP Server form, configure details for the new SMTP server:

    • Add name for the SMTP server, and a description for the email account.

    • Enter the SMTP server hostname and port number.

    • Select Secure to use the SSL protocol for establishing a connection to the SMTP server.

    • Enter username and password credentials for establishing a connection to the SMTP server.
