Configuring Email in System Settings

Open the System Setup screen under the Utilities, Set Up menu.

Enter your SMTP settings for sending email in the Email Settings section. You may need to get this information from your IT department or from your internet provider. Click Test Email to test your email settings. If you haven’t already entered your own email address on the User Settings screen, you will be prompted to do that.

Some providers do not allow sending emails with SMTP this way. If you get errors sending test emails, you may need to create an App Password to send emails. Follow the steps below to create an App Password for Microsoft Office 365 or Gmail.

User Email Settings

Under User Settings, enter your email address. This will be used for sending reports in RPM to yourself.
