Setting up administrator e-mail

---

An administrator can enter his or her e-mail address and server information using the Administrator menu item under Provider. Otobase uses the current user's e-mail address for "Internal Mail" messages that can be sent either via an e-mail system accessed by SMTP protocols or handled completely within the database (see Internal Mail). You may also specify the default subject line of Otobase e-mail messages here. All e-mails sent by users of the database are identified with this subject line.

Note: When a user other than the administrator sends a message via SMTP e-mail, the e-mail information on his or her provider form is used.

The e-mail system in Otobase allows users to do the following, both within the database and externally via SMTP:

Send messages.
Send exported data in the form of attachments.
Receive exported data in the form of attachments.

Users cannot receive or view external e-mail messages within the database since it is assumed that the user has an e-mail program or Web browser that they use on a regular basis.

To send e-mail as well as send and receive exported data, the administrator must enter his or her outgoing mail server and incoming mail server addresses here.Exporting study toolsImporting study tools
